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.

They should look at all the deadweight in DERA. All those economists (and lawyers) that barely do any work. Of course they are over staffed with managers who contribute even less.

Just on the numbers, DERA’s manager to staff ratio is one of the lowest in the Commission. For the true craziness in the number of managers you need to go to exams.

Or look at the managing executive offices. Huge buildup over the years housing people that do little work just to support a senior officer position. In true government fashion, you have some divisions where the managing executive’s office approaches 20% of the overall division.

OGC has a very robust ME office that has expanded recently as well.

I mean if I were a Democratic politician, I'd definitely be investigating things at the SEC next January. Does their salary cover good lawyers?

I’m sure SEC staffers are wildly concerned about being held liable for alleged insider trading by OTHER PEOPLE because . . . ????

Exams has a totally different thing going on because their exam managers are not supervisors so they don’t could in the ratios. And they are the workhorses of the division. It is entirely unclear what DERA does and why it needs hundreds of people. Every time we ask it something they tell us it is impossible for them to do because everyone is so busy.

Are exam managers SK-15s? They are. That means they are managers for the purposes of ratios. You can’t have it both ways - have the perks of being an SK-15 supervisor but then say you are not a managers. Unless we now have dozens of non-supervisory SK-15s. If so, how can we SK-14s get that promotion without being called a manager?

They do not supervise people.

The managing executives should not be senior officers. They are just business managers and overpaid admins.

Chairman apparently looked into getting rid of them but scrapped the idea. MEs are a waste! Maybe enforcement and exams need them. But IM and TM are tiny. Why do they need an SO ME?!
