Things are a lot more like they used to be than they are now. It's starting to feel like we're all standing in a rickety shack cantilevered over Hell's septic tank.
I work at SSA. We've been understaffed for years, especially in areas that serve the public. Many employees have left recently and more have chosen voluntary reassignment. They've been moved from positions deemed non-essential (mostly IT Specialists) into public-facing positions, which should help.

Guidance for us at SSA is to reply. I'd prefer not to, because f*ck Musk and DOGE and trump and every low-information voter who put him in office, but I will. Reluctantly. I suspect that AI will be used in some way to peruse the replies, and parse them for... what? Keywords? Fealty?

You have to applaud the transparency; they don't even try to hide the corruption anymore. Ok, maybe 'applaud' isn't the right word. Condemn?

I work at a three-letter-acronym agency. I know of one person who took it. And this person did so with zero guidance from our agency, simply trusting the OPM emails. NFW.

Senate dems plot to shake their fists at trump and maybe even write a strongly-worded letter. Probably.

A lot of fun replies here. I work for a 3-letter-acronym fed agency, there's no way I'm considering the proposed severance. I report to and take direction from the heads of my agency, not from OPM. Those emails got flagged as spam and then archived. They've abused the right to say something stupid.
