Same with FDA. I haven’t heard anything. I doubt they even have space to bring people and their kids this year.

Another FDA employee here. I just looked and saw it’s two days away- there’s no way it’s happening this year. It was such an incredible event and my second is finally old enough to attend. Pretty sad for him it’s not happening.

This stopped like a least a decade ago at real companies.

The woke D&I crowd ruined it for everyone around 20-25 years ago when they changed it from take your daughter to work day

I guess Palantir isn’t a real company. They are having a great time today doing it.

No, why would you want to take them to work this year?

My kid is finally old enough to go and now they can't go because of this new admin. I wasn't really looking forward to it.

Oh well, maybe my next job?

Nope, not going to expose my starry eyed kids to the sad, dour mood in a fed office. It's not like fed employment is going to be desirable for their generation unless they help a winning campaign.

I worked at FDA when my kids were in school and it was fantastic!

CFPB had a great one. Now you can bring your kids to see the locked building.

Pentagon is having one for its employees.

I guess it depends where you work- science agencies can do really fun events for the kids.

Dumb and Insolent? Daring and Inscrutable? So you’re saying that allowing boys to come too is more “woke” then centering career-oriented events around girls? That’s a switch.
