Kinda surprised folks went public w this after expressly being told not to. Pretty sure if they reverse course at this stage they will rapidly lose folks.[/quote]

This is the way it should be. If employees have proven themselves to be trustworthy and hardworking, let them work remotely. [/quote]
That’s not what’s happening. They’re doing this because if they lose more staff in specific divisions, it will trigger a massive funding cut that will fully shutdown the FDA. They need a carrot to keep the reviewers they have left. They let the wrong people take early retirement and buyouts, and they scared off more with their mean spirited layoffs.

Too bad Sara Brenner spent all her time jogging and dancing around her office instead of pushing back on DOGE when she was in charge. She could have prevented this. Now Makary has to kowtow in front of the Secretary and the White House to get an RTO exemption. It’s a good thing he’s so short. He’s already closer to the ground.[/quote]

Reviewers were excluded from the early buyouts (at least VSIP and VERA, they were eligible for the fork).  [/quote]

I know at least one person whose role was technically “medical officer” who took the VERA. Pretty sure reviewers were eligible for VERA but not VSIP. I don’t know any reviewers who tried to take the fork, and we haven’t been offered it again yet.

also, lol at PP’s comments re Brenner dancing around the office. God, she annoyed me so much! Her coming into the OND all hands meeting via zoom was the most tone deaf thing ever (2-3 weeks after all senior/supervisory staff was supposed to have ceased all telework)

Wasn’t a fan of Makary’s initial speech either. Teleworking two days a week makes me quitting less likely in the immediate term, but things would have to get a whole lot better for me to want to stay beyond that.[/quote]

This. She sucked. Preoccupied with her appearance and no leadership ability. I don’t understand how she got to her current position, she is not even exceptionally well trained from before fda.[/quote]
