Yes! The student loan forgiveness for working for the government is real I literally cried tears of joy when it happened.

[hrobbins]

$103k of my student loans were forgiven this year. Im so grateful the nightmare has ended.

[vandydandy]

In my experience Irs frontline management will deny any request or leave until you show them the opm guidelines. Most employees just give up.

[cathyzhang]

A lot of the benefits mentioned are also provided in private sectors, except student loan forgiveness.

[kenyonbissett]

If you can get permission, divide the 3hr improvement time to work out for 1hr. 45min workout, 15min shower. That would use 30 mins a day, or 2.5hrs a week.

It's not just Government jobs that offer these perks (including student loan repayments). A lot of Non-profit hospitals offer the same things and they even qualify for the PSLF student-loan forgiveness program. I work for a County hospital (now) but I did get these perks while working for Kaiser and Stanford, too.

Oftentimes government agencies are poorly run organizations with leadership that doesn't know how to lead, are filled with people that have been hired by friends that "hook" them up instead of hiring based on merit, and have very high turnover leading to the remaining staff being overworked.

There are surely benefits to working for the federal government but there are also plenty of negatives. It just depends on what you are willing to accept. I've been tentatively offered four times, thrice after interviewing and once via direct hire authority. I ended up declining all four after experiencing unprofessionalism during the onboarding process or after interacting with staff within the specific agency departments. My tolerance for unprofessionalism is very low as is poor leadership qualities of supervisors (being retired military probably biases towards what a good leader is) and poor organizational culture.

You just need to prioritize what you are willing to accept and put up with and make a choice for yourself. Personally, I'm less worried about how much I make and more interested in job satisfaction and team dynamics as i already receive pretty good retirement pay and healthcare. As such, I have yet to find the right fit that meets my standards.

I will say with the PSLF Program that you can also do the IDR along with it.

Not all Depts have wellness time. FAA which falls under DOT does not offer wellness time.

[princessbejai]

No wellness time at my agency, remarks whenever you want take time off

[danielland]

The wellness one i heard about from the VA but im not sure the IRS is up to speed on the same thing.

Cafe part as well, im on 2nd shift and the cafe closes 2p and i start at 3p.

And our breaks are set at times...so its definitely research needed for these options

[treomoe]

What’s the form for the wellness program?

[MartinGarcia-cvdf]

A few things.. wellness leave is agency specific. Child care subsidy is agency specific and normally for lower paid employees. You cannot combine break with lunch periods. Loan repayment program is often limited. Most job series will not pay for education unless extremely beneficial to the government itself. That said, gov job has been steady for me. Do I love it? No, but my family and I are doing well!

[Anthony-lero]

Thanks for telling me about the federal government employees child care program I'll check in to it....

[wewhoareabouttodiesaluteyo]

Kind of like voting leave and blood donation leave in state government.

[massafelipe]

In my country state service is called "Nursery" since you're protected like a little child. Yes, pay might not be top notch but all considered it's nice. Idk why Am I watching this since I obviously would never become a US fed gov't employee. That said, it seems that working for the US gov't seems to be a most humane or "European" type of employment in the US, with sick leaves, counseling, pension etc.

[jpjp]

I’d like to hear more about the financial counseling that the gov offers.

[dynamo]

where im at u have to fill out a separate leave request for every PT hour, ur lunch break is 30 mins unpaid that u cant skip even if u dont eat lunch, making the day 8.5 hours long and theres no combing it with ur two 15 minute breaks

[ajgray]

Is there a publication or something that explains the wellness time you mentioned up to 3 hrs per week?
