>>1486610As a professional paper pusher in the feds this is most likely due to their HR getting gutted and support staff getting the fuck out of dodge. Even when they’re full manpower it can take a couple of months for health insurance to kick in and it can take just as long for additional payments to go through for bonuses, relocations, reimbursement etc. It’s funny that they’re whining though, welcome to federal service fuckers, nothing is easy and quick by design.
