| Anyone know why DB was escorted out last week? |
That’s the million dollar question. His Teams icon looks the same as those probationaries when they were on admin leave. Hasn’t connected to Teams since last week. Seems like his removal is legit. |
| Heard he is now retiring. Any more news? |
| He was back on Teams today. I assume we’ll get a retirement announcement soon. |
| Hope FDIC offers another round of VERA/VSIP/DRP soon with some relaxed requirements as it seems many were not approved in pretense of working on critical business function. May not be good for FDIC and its mission if they keep unhappy people around who no longer want to work for the agency nor come to the office everyday to work especially who are in their 50s-60s. |
Do you think the administration cares? Zero chance. They want most basic functioning, with fewest people, and it may be less effective or efficient but that is goal. Unhappy people who don’t want to work or commute can find new jobs, just like at the rest of the govt. weird take. |
| DOGE was just used to target people managers didn’t want around anymore. Didn’t do anything to get rid of hostile and poor management. |
| +1 to another round of vera/vsip/derp. People want out. |
Then quit. Most people who want to leave their jobs just leave their jobs. |
No |
+1. |
-1 |
There’s more than a grain of truth to this. Also used it to get rid of expensive non-supervisory folks making supervisory salaries (CMs and CXs). I like to joke that the entire management structure will be “Acting” by EOY. |
| DB officially retired. Wonder what that was about. |
Yeah. DOGE just created a power vacuum in my unit by reorganizing but not actually in any meaningful way. Now the managers who really need to go are still hanging around an interfering and our Acting is too weak to organize anything. I thought after 15 years as a Fed this would make more sense to me but it doesn’t. How is it possible that people with the least ability to get things done are the managers? |
