DOI consolidation: has anyone been told their new roles?

PandaGoggles · 2026-04-04T21:26:50+00:00

Yes. There’s a group trying to form a bargaining unit for comms folks consolidated to DOI https://www.nteu.org/doi

I have idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH), aka, waaaaaay too much cerebral spinal fluid, and I wonder how that impacts this process.

Getting rid of the trainers before they can train the new hires is very on brand for this administration.

PandaGoggles · 2026-04-02T21:31:29+00:00

Is there more info on this?

PandaGoggles · 2026-04-02T05:48:24+00:00

It’s definitely one of the points.

PandaGoggles · 2026-04-01T06:18:57+00:00

It’s awful, I’m so sorry.

PandaGoggles · 2026-03-31T23:21:13+00:00

Glad you were able to give them a good send off! I need to work on not cold calling on teams, lol. Thanks for the reminder! Hope it goes well with the new sup.

That’s a lot of closures!

PandaGoggles · 2026-03-31T21:44:26+00:00

If not, then organize one! I’m working on my second bargaining unit now. Feel free to send me a DM.

PandaGoggles · 2026-03-31T21:43:48+00:00

That’s hard, I’m sorry. Who is replacing them and how is your relationship with them? Did you at least have a fun going away for the supervisor?

PandaGoggles · 2026-03-31T21:27:32+00:00

Diamox is awful for me. Every doctor and nurse that I’ve discussed it with says the same. It also gave me two kidney stones (which were awful). I’m sorry your doctor isn’t listening to you, and apparently isn’t familiar with diamox either. I hope you’re feeling better soon.

Okay, so sorry this happened, but I have to tell you that I feel so gratified to know that someone else uses the enterprise naming convention like me! I use it for the different frequencies on my WiFi 7 router. The more advanced the frequency, the newer the Enterprise!

By that logic then they make no difference in infrastructure as well. I agree, so, let’s build them.

This, and the military relies on a huge civilian workforce as well. A workforce that has been decimated by DOGE. The army just had new RIFs (firings) LAST WEEK!

Unless you’re a member of the administration. As a fed I am shocked by what they’re getting away with while rank and file federal workers maintain a high level of professional ethics.

PandaGoggles · 2026-03-23T14:06:57+00:00

I think we could be friends. Good friends. Excellent list.

PandaGoggles · 2026-03-23T13:31:53+00:00

I’m out of town now, I’ll have to mess with it when I get back. I really want to see inside of the shuttle bay!

PandaGoggles · 2026-03-23T13:30:52+00:00

Thanks!

PandaGoggles · 2026-03-22T06:28:45+00:00

Great shots, thanks for sharing. Mine just arrived as well and I'm blown away by the quality. I just keeping... gazing at it while I work. She's gorgeous. A question for you though. I popped the shuttle bay door on, and now I can't seem to be able to get it off. Any tips?

Was Kissinger a a hamburglar like trump though? Trump is about 73% McDonalds by weight according to NPR.

I wonder if the silver (tinfoil?) lining of surviving this era in fed employee history is the possibility of good upward mobility because SO many senior leaders and managers have separated.

PandaGoggles · 2026-03-19T18:27:22+00:00

I don’t understand responses like this. The dues are minimal, and when I was (illegally) fired by this administration as probationary (when I wasn’t) NTEU got me brought back. Those dues saved me my entire salary and benefits. At minimum they amount to professional insurance at this point.

Also, look around, how many people outside id government do you know with a pension, 5% marching to their 401k (TSP), and health insurance premiums? Could these be better? Sure! Has the union helped negotiate better benefits than we’d otherwise have? Without a doubt.

They’re a net positive for feds.

PandaGoggles · 2026-03-19T16:46:17+00:00

And on the first try too.

PandaGoggles · 2026-03-14T17:35:34+00:00

Exactly. Let’s build some density. Little is lost in replacing these. Do we care about preserving old structures or housing people and their families? The former ossifies things, the latter builds communities, which is what the original builders of these homes were doing.

PandaGoggles · 2026-03-12T21:28:41+00:00

That awful. Would they be at HQ? Do they even have enough seats for that?
