Azalin Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 When calling someone a name with the intention of insulting them, especially when you are belittling their intelligence, it is best to at least spell the word correctly. Dumbass. Reminds me of this old favorite: http://youtu.be/tMe3WDmxBEI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledInIllinois Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 That's the only thing you could find to criticize in that rambling post? I didn't even read it but found four. Enumerate. I will probably correct you just as long as it is not about grammar. Go out of your norm and make it about something w/substance. And yes... Dumbazz was purposely spelled that way. Hey, I am a Liberal... It's the new kinder, gentler insult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledInIllinois Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 I didn't read? So they say. Likely excuse... At least I am not OC. Okay, maybe the liberal version. ;-P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alaska Darin Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 You have 35 weeks of sick leave?? What the !@#$ is that? That is one of the issues I have with my tax dollars being wasted. That's bullcrap. While the rest of us have to pay for a disability policy I'm yours? That's the government for you. When I was in the military we had a civilian that had like 35 years in. Took sick leave every Friday for over 2 years. When he finally ran out, he retired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His accrued sick, and personal time, and all of his vacation time that he left unused all rolled over. When he finally decided to retire, he used it all at once, cashing in more than 2 years of paid time off, which left him on the state payroll for that duration, allowing his state pension to maximize, even though he hadn't worked the required time.

Has happened and the employee lost/removed... Yes, gasp! But then again, it's an honest agency that will do that. It is called being "good stewards" and managing properly. It's the dishonest agency's that let the abuse happen. Management without balls. Under CSRS one would get credit time toward retirement. FERS (implemented in around 1984... That means we pay SS, etc...) never had this. This means you would lose all the time upon retirement. Just recently, I think they changed the law because of the abuse you speak of. I am not sure how it works now, but I think one gets some credit... Maybe not as much as the old CSRS employee.
