A coworker was caught padding hours. Not sure what the management is planning to do with her but most likely going to get fired. It's so weird, because it's highly unlike her character but I guess we all never get the full idea of anyone just from interacting with them at work. Has anyone in your team ever done this? What has been the consequence, if yes?

Oh wow. No, no one in any of my past jobs has done that so this is the first time I'm hearing of it. Let us know what your company decides to do.

Are you at a large firm? And how bad was the "padding"? billable hour pressure at large firms im sure can cause this

How did they figure out she was doing that?

There's always a company snitch. Someone always watching so they can report to management. Reminds me of the movie, 9 to 5, when Roz would hide in restroom stalls with her feet up, taking notes on toilet paper.
Funny thing is that those same snitches wouldn't be whistleblowers because they don't want to lose their job. Also funny is that the company snitch would be shocked when the company lays them off because the snitch thinks they're immune.

How did you find out about it?

Yes, they were fired. It’s fraud

Have seen multiple people fired over this over my career. And it’s one if the quicker ways to get fired. Usually younger employees who don’t realize it will be super obvious to the biller. And it’s usually once they’re already heading down the slippery slope of not meeting their hours or not being able to turn in good quality work, so they do it to make up for that, feeling the pressure.

Losing motivation and drive as time goes on , and I’m only 27 . Nothing I’m passionate about and money just seems like it’s ever enough ($160k total comp) . I was lucky enough to be making that much at McK while solving social problems within education , Econ dev , and public health

However , social good isn’t pleasing my soul neither is the income . I’ve switched jobs to healthcare where I’m impacting people’s physical and mental health . Still no passion / drive

I feel lost / bored :(

Fish who have been feds,

I have been stuck deciding between two offers (both in IC, but one is more program analysis -similar to consulting work but on the fed side, and actual analysis).

The program analysis offer is at a higher GS level and a more well known agency, but is not what I’m interested in.

Does anyone have any advice on how to make a decision? Go with what I want to do, or go with the more well known agency and higher gs?
