Personally, 5x/week would be a touch less exhausting if we still had an on site gym. I'm guessing I'm in the minority on this but that little thing would make a world of difference for me.

I agree. With the gym, I could use my lunch to get in a workout. It still sucks to have the commute time but it didn’t preclude getting exercise. Now it’s hard to fit that in after or before the commute given kid obligations.

+1, the gym would help a lot.

Heard they were looking into it but we are losing floors in SP2 to the CFTC. With that loss of space and people all being doubled up, off the table.

Wait, what????

The CFTC, or parts of the CFTC, are coming the Station Place?

How is that going to work?

How do you think? Everyone doubled up.


Anyone terrified about what we are missing in the markets and with investors between the loss of staff and demoralization of who is left? The next big crisis has gotten closer because of all this. When they write the report, what PA did kissing up to Trump instead of focusing on the agency and his utter disregard of staff will be in the “why did the SEC miss it” chapter.

Supposedly we are going to be hiring a bunch of people too in the next few months. VERA and Fork last year, hiring more people this year.

Lots of hiring these days, and sneaky ways of doing it like using a single posting for multiple positions.

Doubt telework is coming back any time soon.

The earliest we are getting it back is 2029. And many stars have to align for it to happen then. Right now we need the Dems to win at least the House. They can’t change anything and don’t care about us but it is a start.

For the most coveted positions this is more than sneaky. Watch the cronyism grow. Especially with so many internal positions, especially in Enforcement, are open to that division only. I wonder why!
I have also seen some people stealthily promoted without any competition. Sneaky it all is.

Is it that unusual to have multiple vacancies under a single announcement? I have seen a number of jobs on USAjobs posted this way. Or maybe there is something else going in that I am not understanding.

Agree on the cronyism promotions. PA's former COS is now an SO.

Long before Atkins or even Trump, lots of positions (especially in ENF) were open only yo employees already in the Division. That doesn’t suggest anything nefarious.

The issue with multiple vacancies under a single announcement is that people may not be interested in the actual position of the announcement, but would actually be interested in whatever other position that isn’t posted but is filled with applicants under the one posted. If that makes sense.
For example, someone may not want to work in exams. But if OHR takes that exams cert and fills a position in TM using that cert, it will be understandable is people are upset about it.

Got it. I was thinking of one post for multiple enforcement attorney jobs rather than multiple attorney jobs across the agency.

you think that's sneaky? an internal 17 position was advertised to be open for two weeks and was closed the same day. now "reviewing applications".

These four years are going to breed lots of litigation in their aftermath. We have supervisors that seem to allow telework based on what the law would say are illegal factors. On the surface they are very lenient with their friends (in this case all men) and much more strict on non-friends (mostly female). If the tide turns within the statute of limitations, lots of managers are going to get sued. So whoever wants these managerial jobs can have them. You’d be an idiot to apply.

There was one job that was open for just an hour or so at 8am. Then straight to “reviewing applications.” They may have reposted in when they got caught.

But this happens more than you think. Cronies get promoted, while others get fired for coming in 15 minutes “late.” There is a targeted retaliation going on across multiple regional offices and DC.

C’mon. Are people really getting fired for coming in 15 minutes late. I have not heard of this but would welcome other insights.

They certainly use it if they are looking to get rid of you.
