[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow what a limited point of view.  I have been in the same federal position for 23 years since graduating law school, constantly learning new areas of the law and feel very successful.  Nailed my dream job from the beginning, why would I have had a resume before this chaos?[/quote]

That’s not typically the case for most feds. We have to apply elsewhere on usajobs to get promotions. There are not laddered positions. Once I was a gs12 who was so good at her job that I ran the office when my prior gs14 boss retired. I ran the office for 4 years but was ineligible to apply when the job was finally posted. The dumbest, cruelest manager was hired who didn’t know what she was doing.  I learned my lesson and never made that mistake again! I got a new job and was a gs13 for exactly 13 months before I got a new gs14 job. And then I took over an office again.

Surely you haven’t been a gs 14/15 for 23 years??? In my agency attorneys also don’t get promotions without applying. [/quote]
NP, but before I retired last week, I was an attorney who came in as a 12, moved up 3 grades as quickly as my supervisor could promote me, and spent my final 25 years as a non-supervisory GS-15. No applications involved once I came on board, so no need for an updated resume. I know tons of attorneys in the same boat at my agency.[/quote]
