Congrats bro, when did you know of your selection. I thought you said that you were rolled over?

I accepted the GS job that starts in a month about 15 hours before results came out. I got rolled into April. But I guess it worked out since the selection rate for April was about 20% higher.

Still waiting for my ship date. My job goes back to the office full time in mid-August. Hoping I can get a ship date that let's me resign before that happens! ?

Good thing for me is that I'm one of 3 people in a finance office for an organization with a $45 million budget. They wouldn't terminate me early because I'm a bit indispensable to them. Especially with the new FY coming around soon.

I might just let my supervisor know 1 month in advance that I'll be leaving soon, but don't know exactly when. Then give final notice 2 weeks prior. Either way, I have about 3 weeks PTO I could cash out.

Bro, I personally manage a $50MM portfolio and my good buddy who is actually at OCS now. He managed a ~$55MM portfolio, when he said he was selected for OCS they kicked him to the curb soooooooo fast. Especially when they realized they wouldn't lose any clients in the process. He too believed he was "indispensable".

I work for a state institution. It'll take them roughly 6 months to replace me, not to mention a 1-3 month onboarding depending on the person's education and experience. In the meantime, account reconciliations won't get done, accounts payable will back up, documentation will get months behind, and they'll lose their only finance employee that can do excel modeling. Private sector is much more efficient in replacing individuals.

Oh, and if they fire me, I can apply for unemployment and get that sweet, sweet extra covid unemployment benefit until September. Probably come out earning more than what I make now. lol

oh absolutely....I'm nothing but a fruit fly here (that sounded weird)....they could replace me in a week and bring someone better (but not as handsome) than me.....the thing is...most of their budget (which is in the billions) comes from the US military and its allies....it would be a horrible PR move from them to fire one of their employees because of their intentions to serve......like...."please give us your business...." but then they don't support their mission and its members? ....they could go ahead and make up another reason to fire someone in my position such as "below average performance"or "wears too much cologne to work"......or whatever...which is probably why I realize as I write this down, that I should have kept my mouth shut.....

add to that that I am already a veteran.....

My boss is supportive of my decision. His only concern is a seamless transition from me to my successor, so he wants me to have 1-2 months overlap with the person so I can train them. All in all, I don't think I'm at risk for being pushed out, but I'll agree to never say never.

Still no ship date. Getting real antsy with my OR... I don't really care what he says, I'm pretty sure there's something he could do to persuade the NRD processors to get me an August/September ship date.
