What job families?

Is anyone concerned about the organization? So many people have left and continue to leave. Everyone I know has a foot out the door.

At the FDIC, more than 40% of the employees will be retirement eligible in the next five years. Its going to be wild

Do you not consider the fdic your peer?

I am at FDIC and doubt that OP was trying to provide an exhaustive list.

Btw, FDIC folks can do as little as one day per PP in office.

I know, i was kidding.

Is this official within a specific subject division (eg, monetary or sup) or in the Management division? I’m guessing this is coming from the top.

That said, the Fed Board expanded greatly in the post-Dodd Frank years. The org could probably use some natural attrition and reduce head count. But yes, a lot of experienced hands have left the organization in the past year and been replaced with more junior & external candidates who have little practical experience (eg you can’t necessarily do a policy or analytics job coming from the banking or shadow finance sectors).

But responsibilities haven’t decreased. It’s not natural attrition. In some divisions it’s 25%.

Same policy at the OCC. Gotta love the unions. The worst thing about the Fed Board is that there is no union and you are at the whims of toxic management.

Problem is by the time they retire we won’t have any staff left.

RTO isn’t the only issue. Problem is when a senior or mid-level person leaves the position has to be filled with a junior worker. Except junior employees don’t have the experience or skills to perform the job and there isn’t anyone to train them.

Another problem? Managers can’t promote staff and only one person per group can’t receive the highest performance review rating a year.

Place is a disaster. Can’t even imagine how many more people will leave.

Too many dinosaur boomers in charge.

Can you explain more, for us non-FRB folks?
