I retired from a civil service job at Ft. Sill in September 2020 for two reasons, new supervisor was an ass and taking the shot was mandatory at the time and I was awaiting approval for an exemption when I was told by the new supervisor that it does not look like you will get the exemption. I had told his bosses before his hiring that if he was hired (buddy hire), I would be gone not long after. He had no experience for the job and a woman in the office who has been there more than 15 years put in for it but...buddy hire. So, with that and the mandatory shot looming, I was out.
His bosses thought I was bluffing and got pissed because they told me they needed me to help him learn the job (office lead at the time) before I left. Nope. He was struggling and has since moved on to another job. The woman who should have got it left for a higher paying job before he left. Funny how things worked out. One of the guys still working there is running the show until they get a new supervisor and he says it is a total mess. Him and another worker told me they heard I was coming back to take the supervisor job and I said that that was news to me.
Not long after that conversation, the upper management ask me if I would consider it. Nope.
