At FDA you can bring your child to work this year, but there will be nothing special happening unlike the before times and it was put into writing that you will need to supervise your child all day.

I see lots of kids in DC but nothing at my office this year.

DOT is having it with a full schedule.

I’d never bring my kids into this hell.

I guess it depends where you work- science agencies can do really fun events for the kids.

Yes agreed!

And this is why DOGE was created. Federal employees are lazy and don't work.

You don’t think the horrific morale, this administration’s desire to “traumatize” fed workers, and the gutting of agency programs could have anything to do with why it’s hard to get to work these days. Many of us are rearranging chairs on the sinking Titanic deck these days, not exactly inspiring. Also add in pointless RTO to go sit in a crowded conference room and try to take teams calls with headphones or scrounge for a seat in general.

So efficient. So productive. 🙄

I’ll be bringing my kid- he’s excited to see our office, meet coworkers and we’ll grab lunch.

Oh my god, NO. Just don't do it, it's so depressing and awful.

The entire Pentagon? All the organizations with offices in the Pentagon? Every single one of them?

Yes, the entire Pentagon. Offices can participate if they want to. And Hegseth is opening up the day with remarks.

Will they be age appropriate?

Mine is still having it...but I would have to attend on my own personal time. No thanks.

DOJ did, too.

Cancelled at NIH this year.
