6. Thank you for this comment

I'm a VA RN who's been on the fence about this for the last couple of days and although I'm not close to retirement, I've been considering going back to work for the State of Wisconsin where I put in 13 years as a Correctional Officer. State of WI retirement is a calculation that is based on top 3 earning years. As an RN, I will make much more than I did as a CO, but my options are limited. I will most likely have to work at a prison as an RN and I am worried that they may not be hiring when I apply.

This offered plan has sounded like a Golden Ticket for me because I have been feeling the burnout of working short staffed at the VA for years and leadership has been cracking down on even minor workplace allegations as a way to beef up disciplinary action. During T's first 4 years the rules were changed so that disciplinary actions remain on the books permanently. During COVID burnouts people got angry and got wrote up for dropping the F-bomb, now a MAGA crony can lie and get a person fired with progressive discipline even if the original sin occurred years ago.

I work in a hostile environment. 7 months of full benefits and pay would be a dream come true.

But then you reminded me that TRUMP NEVER PAYS HIS BILLS. That truth is the reminder I needed to hear.
