Employees trying to send in their weekly 5 bullets email are getting automatic replies back: “The recipient’s mailbox is full and can’t accept messages right now. Please try resending your message later, or contact the recipient directly.”

We spend our days alternating between answering whatever the latest data call is and trying to proactively anticipate the next one to get ahead of it. Actual work that directly benefits Veterans? 📉

Senior leaders at the VA are irate about the RIF memo getting out. Wants the leaker identified and fired.

The standard line of “don’t panic, wait for more clarification” is not sitting well with most. No one is really “blaming” senior leaders, since all of this is coming from a black box email server, but the amount of detachment between senior officials and mid/low level employees is staggering.

When you get rid of DEI so you can hire the “best people,” emails from the acting Secretary look like this on mobile devices.

Going to try this out. #VA #Veterans
