Currency while on PPL

[Wizard]

Again, not my job to run the operation. There are plenty of OSs who are privy to my PPL situation and can manage our daily staffing accordingly. Also again, I don’t get any more breaks than anyone else in the building.

See, this is the great thing about America, you’re free to be wrong as fuck. 🇺🇸

We all know the proc means nothing. Coming on the site and playing victim for not doing something that you said you were going to do is just dumb. Sure, a supervisor can run a break board but you can also be a grown fucking adult and take responsibility. If getting an over the shoulder wasnt a big deal then why was it so important for you to come in on sundays? You wanted to come in and do nothing and collect sunday pay while extending your PPL a few more weeks. Just say thats what you wanted to do instead of some bullshit excuse that you wanted to maintain currency.

You're a really stressed out dude.

You said I shared the link, when I didn’t. Go re-read what you responded to. Maybe you meant to respond to me and maybe you didn’t when you originally said “From the link you posted,” but I didn’t post that OPM link and your image shows that. Do I seem stressed? It could be from having to play mental whack-a-mole with the comments of nitwits like yourself that don’t know who said what.

Why are you still acting like I abused sick leave to cause this to fall through? For the last time, I had to take care of unforeseen circumstances with my family at the end of the month and it caused my currency to lapse by not very much time. Big fucking deal, stop trying to pretend that coming in on Sundays on PPL is some coveted treat that ATMs are sticking their necks out sooooo far to agree to, because it’s not. If that’s what I requested I aim to uphold that to the best of my ability, but forgoing my priorities as a father and a husband to appease the agency to that end no matter what is one of the dumbest takes I’ve ever read on here. I’d wager most OSs and OMs worth their salt would even scoff at that, just not mine evidently lol.

There are literally Article 114 folks who get paid way more to cumulatively do a whole lot less than me, and that’s from home on a permanent basis while assigned to a work group. Honestly, you losing your fucking marbles over me taking three months of slate book time to care for my newborn child, coming in on Sundays and having to miss one (1) day due to family circumstances is hilarious. Really.

Nobody cares about your PPL or sick leave use. People are just critiquing how you are handling this situation (not well).

And yes, I did say you shared the link. Because you replied and reposted the link with your response, which I included in that screenshot. Is that not sharing? Or reposting? You're wildin.

Don't you know that you being home takes money out of the OS and ATMs bank accounts? Also the over the shoulder will take weeks to complete, all other training must now be stopped to accomplish this magnificent task.

Who gives a shit if someone wants to only work Sundays on PPL... how dare someone who has a new born want to keep Sunday pay. Or they want to not get 3 months rusty on controlling and miss all the changes that go on during that period. Either way, over the shoulders happen all the time all over the NAS. Not to mention a large part of those who miss currency are OSs, and if it's such a big deal why can you get an over the shoulder on one position for lost currency on a completely different one?

Many of the people in this message thread seem like low/mid level OS/ATMs that are terrible leaders and just work towards making sure metrics look good so they can look good to their bosses. We all know the type of boot lickers they are, no common sense or ability to think for themselves. Don't worry, these miserable fucks get to lead training teams and decide who certifies on positions they themselves can't control but think they can as they sit back at the OS desk making sure everyone signed their weather briefings before work.

Pardon me, but that would be quoting something posted by someone else. Wild isn’t it?

 

[Somenewguy]

do your fucking job and be held accountable for the decisions you make.

 

[Raise when?]

Everyone hates the sprinkled ppl guy, even fellow CPCs

You don't speak for us. Eat a dick.

My wife was bedridden, feverish and unable to take care of our also sick 2 month old. You tell me, not living anywhere close to family or friends like most of us do, what else was I supposed to do? Did you miss the part at the beginning of this post when I said I reflected that I was caring for a family member when I put my sick leave in scheduler? Really it was two…

Ahh I misinterpreted what you were saying, forgive me.

 

[Nothanks]

This entire thing is sad and embarrassing.

My facility is lucky I'm shooting blanks.... I'd be on 18 months of leave every year.

A little update on this:

My facrep talked with my ATM and told them they were instructed by the district to leave the PRoC in my personnel file. Even though no conference ever took place, let alone within 10 calendar days of the observed performance, and I was never given a physical copy of the PRoC in person. So I guess the agency is cool with slapping falsified records in your file. My rep has handed this to my regional NATCA leaders to discuss this with the district GM & AGM. It sounds like they are all on some kick to issue bullshit PRoCs at the moment.

I would challenge this as much and as far as you can. Rumours on my end have increased and there is a point to this that will become apparent in the future.

I fully intend to, even if we have to open up a grievance. This exact scenario is why I can’t stand people that think you should just eat PRoCs because “they don’t mean anything.” While that’s figuratively true, it’s still unjust administrative action and the principle of letting the agency get away with it needs to be challenged at every turn.
