Letter of counseling after first mess up

today for the first time in my fed career I forgot to include my branch manager in addition to my lead in a calling out sick email. since I was sick and left my laptop at work as well over the weekend I couldn’t login to request sick leave or report that I would be out sick on our checkin thing for work. my branch manager sent an email saying since I forgot to inform her I would be out, didn’t request sick leave (using my computer that was on site), and didn’t put the correct location I would be at (using the computer that is again on site) that she is setting up a meeting up with to discuss expectations and I bet do a letter of counseling too in that. I am not saying I didn’t mess up, however for my first time doing this or having to be told about this am I wrong to think this is a knee jerk reaction?

How has everything been since the DRP?

Former Fed here, I left last year when they offered DRP2 for the DoD. Could not stand the bullshit coming from DOGE. I used the opportunity to pursue a new path in life, now currently working as a Firefighter/EMT.The whole DOGE scenario feels like a fever dream for me, and the feds have crossed my mind recently.So how have things been since the DRP and DOGE closing down? Have they started hiring more people? Replacing DRPers? Brought back telework?

Using a TSP loan to pay off a medical bill for a discount

I have a large medical bill that I was planning on paying off in 36 interest-free monthly installments. However, the hospital sent me a letter saying that if I pay the bill in full now, the bill will be lowered to 30% off. Would it be worth it to pay it in full using funds from a TSP loan? I’d pay the 30% that I received back immediately, then let the rest do its work or make contributions here and there as I save more. What are your thoughts?
