East Coast Public Sector Fam ☀️👩🏽‍💻👨🏾‍💼

A heatwave is headed our way and we’ve got questions! 🔥🥵

Does your state offer WFH options when temps rise?
Or are you already eyeing that precious PTO like… “it’s me or the humidity.” 😅💼

Drop your witty survival plans below:
🌬️ Fan in one hand, keyboard in the other?
📺 Teams on mute while your AC unit screams in the background?
🧊 PTO = Pool Time Outdoors?

Let’s hear it! What’s your agency’s vibe when it hits 90+?

We used to have a lot of flexibility when it came to working from home during bad weather. I highly doubt, given all the current changes, that that will still apply. I am really not looking forward to the heat this summer.

Same here we have flex days so I’m looking forward to the inclement weather announcement from the gov……. Loading

Everyone is ahead of the game and grumpy. I know the extreme heat doesn’t put me in a great mood either, but it’s been a lot. Drink water and survive are my only goals throughout the day.

I’m maxing out my 401K, traditional IRA and HSA this year and paying for some house improvements. I have about $750K total investments and very close to $2M net worth, but realize that I am behind on investments if I want to do FIRE. I was focused on paying off huge chunks of my mortgage and managed to whittle it down to $75K left. Would you suggest I go ahead and pay that off this year? Or pause and do a mega back door roth instead? I’m mid 40s. Thanks!

I feel under qualified at work but I also don’t know how much of it is in my head or in reality. I head a team and they seem to be happy… but I’m also personally not satisfied what we’re delivering is enough… so I have this weird mixed feeling of the stuff we’re doing not really being that stretching, but at the same time I feel out of my depth. I really don’t know what to do and whether to hold on in the hope I’ll learn something or go back to a lower grade and a more comfortable life.
