We are running out of work, and i know other offices are having the same problem. What is the end game here? Is the goal to eliminate most of the engineers and architects like they did with federal workers in other agencies?

We are getting nothing from our management.

How has the transition to Acq Demo Pay Band been going?

Any insights from anyone from MVD and what the initial reactions are?

Could USACE employees already on the Acq Demo Pay scale share their experience? Do you prefer it? Should we be worried about a pay cut? Will you lose money if you’re on special salary?

We just heard about it today at my district and everyone seems to be freaking out. But from what I have read, it doesn’t seem to be too bad?

Would love to hear any thoughts from people experiencing it. Thanks!

Hello,

My husband is considering working at an Army Corps of Engineer ran hydropower project. He is already an operator at a smaller dam, so we are used to rotating schedules. But can anyone chime in about the work/life balance of working at a larger dam? What are the positives/negatives for raising children in such an environment? Thank you!
