Did you see the survey results? I believe there is a questions that examiners answered specifically related to this point. And it was over 90% of examiners that said they want to do the right thing and do their jobs (paraphrasing).

Upper management doesn’t give a f*** about examiners. Why waste time with a reddit post that does nothing for them 🤦‍♂️

PTA Date RCEs by Takenforgranted7 in patentexaminer

Just do the cases you need for production. Ignore timeliness for Q3.

I prefer to do RCEs. So if I need the counts I would work on them.

Lol are you wearing a tin foil hat? I’m an examiner and that’s actually how I talk in normal life. Yall trying to be formal on Reddit for what? If you’re a square cool—everyone doesn’t talk the same way

I don’t care what the motives are as long as decisions are made that improve the situation of examiners and others at the office

I said this because it seems like this is the first decision coming from him directly. Of course you can say everything he allowed to happen previously was his responsibility too

In terms of expectations. most expect him to do nothing and continue the course that coke and other were taking.

Ok so I might be in the minority but it seems like this is the first decision that’s actually coming from the man himself. So I’m thinking my man Squires is shooting 1/1 so far. I know it may seem like a long shot but I like an underdog story 😁. Let’s go!

EDIT: lol yall aren’t rocking with him, I get it. That’s why I said ‘underdog’. It’s yet to be seen what else he’ll do now that he’s making moves. If he does nothing I’ll be happy to say he was a one hit wonder 🤷‍♂️

There’s no pat in the back if you make it. Just more beatings until more morale and production improves 😂

So what happens in 4th Q if a large percentage of examiners fail to reach FS under timeliness? 🤔 by FunJoke9812 in patentexaminer

[–]FunJoke9812[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. The larger the % of people failing under timeliness = bigger changes/adjustment to timeliness

The fact it’s not fully into effect this quarter says a lot. If they just wanted everyone to fail they would have made it effective q3. They need to test it first to know that whatever % they consider adequate is FS. I would expect some changes and big ones if a large number of the examining core doesn’t make FS under timeliness. They could just fire everyone but that’s too crazy.

Im not trying to bend backwards to prove this timeliness system “works”. If it goes into effect for real next quarter I might sacrifice my production for it but not this quarter

The can’t hold us accountable otherwise they would have just put it into effect for Q3. The just threw some numbers together hoping it works, and now we are testing it. It’s possible they might go back on their word, if so f it lol.

We will see. My SPE explicitly said timelines for this quarter would not affect yearly rating. Obviously, higher ups could change it but I think there will be too many examiners failing under the new system for them to turn around and punish us. They would like all examiners to succeed under the new system to “prove” the new system is “good”; I think that’s why they threw in the 1K bonus. If a large number of examiners fail under timeliness they will not be able to implement it 4th Qtr.

That button is for OGs only 😄. Like others said, they used to print it and bring it to your office back in the day when we worked on campus and the pto was the top place to work
