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

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

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.

Same at FDA

The entire Pentagon? All the organizations with offices in the Pentagon? Every single one of them?

Yes, the entire Pentagon. Offices can participate if they want to. And Hegseth is opening up the day with remarks.

Will they be age appropriate?

And this is why DOGE was created. Federal employees are lazy and don't work.

I’ll be bringing my kid- he’s excited to see our office, meet coworkers and we’ll grab lunch.

You don’t think the horrific morale, this administration’s desire to “traumatize” fed workers, and the gutting of agency programs could have anything to do with why it’s hard to get to work these days. Many of us are rearranging chairs on the sinking Titanic deck these days, not exactly inspiring. Also add in pointless RTO to go sit in a crowded conference room and try to take teams calls with headphones or scrounge for a seat in general.

So efficient. So productive. 🙄

Yes agreed!
