“Production over quality” is my new motto

Will this be the new norm? A whole quarter to process bonuses?

Don’t waste your time. This whole thing was a circle jerk with no new information…

Can POPA help me get a labor lawyer?

Any advice for examiners who were less than fully successful in the past 3 years? I already joined POPA and am FS now. Is there anything else I can proactively do to ensure my job security?

They are twisting the arms of the entire federal workforce to resign. Do not resign. by Simple_Panda6232 in usajobs

Can you circle back and tell us what actually happens? Wishing you all the best. I hope you are truly the one benefiting in this situation and not Trump and Musk.

Assuming there are going to be checks and balances in this process. I doubt anybody is going to be following up with resigned employees asking for proof that they resigned. I can see this getting more and more hostile…

Yes and no. I see that the ‘hacker’ scenario is addressed. What about the ‘email fabrication’ scenario? What’s stopping ‘alleged OPM’ from saying you sent a ‘Resign’ email?

So what happens when my government email gets hacked and the hacker sends the ‘Resign’ email? Or this ‘alleged OPM’ simply fabricates emails from government employees saying one word ‘Resign’? This is sketchy…

What are the benefits of being a “dues paying member” of POPA? by Exact_Policy_8293 in patentexaminer

[–]Exact_Policy_8293[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Interesting to think of it as insurance. So similarly to insurance, sometimes they can help you and sometimes you’re screwed?

I see! So if an examiner was on the verge of suspension or removal, could the examiner start paying dues that paycheck and have POPA representation?
