They are in the office! What else do you want from them? That’s the measure of productivity for PA: butts in the seats in the office, and not teleworking! They are on their phones very by very important America 250 messages by our glorious Chairman, while their laptops are rebooting because OIT pushed some stuff that needed continuous restart in the middle of the day. That’s attending to their duties!


Across the government and corporate America it’s been made very clear that what matters is being in the office. Everyone ignores that you can just go into the office and use your phone.



At least we are finally getting two-hour early dismissals before holiday weekends. Maybe PA’s heart has grown a size or two?


yeah, not gonna hold my breath for juneteenth.

Seriously. My job is to rationalize the expensive office space. Here I am. At my desk. On my phone. Or drinking coffee. Or having lunch. Or the gym.

I now do as little work as possible. Not SEC.

Corporate America is shortsighted. Most employees now consider their employers to be stupid. If the labor market changes in favor of employees, they are cooked. I can’t stand my employer and am concerned about the long term performance of a company that cares more about butts in seats > actual performance.

Decisions should be coming soon for a number of the manager and senior officer openings. Will be interesting to see if the hiring decisions improve morale or end up crushing it even more.

It’s the people you don’t want to leave who are leaving. The dead weight is staying, including lots of managers and even directors who should have been shown the door.


that would require work. they keep hoping humiliation will encourage people to leave but what's a little humiliation versus a mortgage payment and college tuition? it's the worst job market possible, no one is getting new jobs except those with a lot of options. (and those jobs come with a lot of risk, especially at the manager and director level.)

I think that is what is happening at all federal agencies. Project 2025 is working and continues to drain the best resources away from public service.
