Are they paid out of sec budget? Get benefits? Have offices? Subject to ethics and other employment conditions? But they’re “exempted from any hiring freeze”? Sure. Here’s a brilliant idea: create a 15 year “fellowship” and say they’re all exempt from hiring freezes and don’t increase headcount. [insert meme of RV slapping his forehead and yelling. “Doh! Project 2025 foiled again!”]. |
You are a moron. Just straight up. You obviously don’t work at the SEC and have no clue. Why don’t you educate yourself, just a little, and come back when you have something to say that is relevant to the issue. |
Instead of calling names like a 6 yo (I assume you work in HR or IT) maybe answer the question? Though you can’t bc even though you apparently have a very low IQ, you likely recognize the idiocy of your logic — that just labeling something a “fellowship” doesn’t exempt you from OMB and OPM policies. Simpleton. |
I think PPs point is that the accountant roles rotate in and out of the SEC and are more akin to something like commissioner staff than career SEC employees. |
See EO, OPM memo and take some time to understand the way a fellow program works. Then come back and comment with all your high IQ knowledge. Seriously, do a baseline level of eduction for yourself, it’s not difficult. |
You have no idea what you’re talking about. Who gives a crap if the people in a particular position “rotate in and out.” The people occupying the position still draw a salary, benefits, etc. — they COST MONEY! The whole POINT of the hiring freeze is to save money. What do you think — doge is ok with spending the same amount of money as long as the people driving the costs rotate? Idiot. |
| DS, college senior then, got an email in early Feb saying that the position he was applying for had been eliminated due to Trump. (Specifically said that.) It may have been a fellowship because his boss from his last internship, in econometrics, had written a letter of rec for him. He's now happily in the private sector. |
One again, educate yourself. Then speak. It’s not difficult. |
| It’s likely all moot. I don’t know where the people for this “fellowship” come from, but it’s likely an employer that pays well and doesn’t require 100 pct in office. So good luck getting applicants. |
It’s so clear you have no idea what this is. If you did, you’d know the answer, to all of this. |
Uh, it’s public. All over LinkedIn and USAJOBS. So no need to be cryptic. |
Seriously, baseline education. Just a little. It’s not cryptic, it’s publicly available. You’ve been told where to look. Go look. |
