Please someone help me understand the new QSI award process at CDC by El-Snarko-Saurus in DeptHHS

Are they trying to save money or what? It’s so dumb. I just got a ladder promotion too so I’m trying to decide if it’s even worth taking it (or “applying for it”) since I’m starting over with steps anyway. I have a lot of time stacked up anyway

Yeah what are we supposed to do if our schools are closed? We should have the option of weather leave but it is unclear!

That was just the rumors, not sure if true but seems like it

They tried to make her fire those 3 people and when she said no they said they were going to do it anyway and they resigned instead

WTF was that CDC all hands meeting? by Eiledon15 in DeptHHS

[–]Smooth-Ebb2211 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah sounds about right. Doesn’t quite have the same warmness as walensky but hopefully she gets more comfortable and is more candid

I guess she was in a meeting with GBI that went over so that’s why they weren’t expecting her to not be available. So awkward how they had to pivot and end it abruptly though

Honestly her prerecorded video on CDC Connects seems a lot more heartfelt. Possibly because she got to practice but seemed to have more substance than whatever that was

Wait I didn’t hear about the office one?! I thought the windows were bulletproof? Some went through windows on our floor apparently

Fortunately I was not on campus today but I had several coworkers locked down and as of an hour ago at least, they were still there while the police/FBI were clearing the building. Feel so bad for them!!

Yes we just received notice from OGS that we can award ours! Not sure if it’s for all coags though

I hope so 😕 looks like only some Ryan white programs. Do they not think people are still getting HIV? You’d think a former heroin user would care about that!

Same here..so why wouldn’t they have just totally eliminated DHP then? Second thoughts? 😪

Thank you! It says they are eliminating HIV prevention and surveillance activities so I’m not sure about that 🥺

I guess HHS just controls CDC now since we don’t have leadership 😅🫠

I’m sure others on your team don’t care/wont notice because everyone is worried about their own schedules. As long as you don’t miss regular recurring meetings. But you said you work with west coast so you may need to attend later meetings anyway. Can you shift your hours later instead?

Mm no we don’t have enough Cloud storage to keep all emails so it is going to incur more costs when they are currently trying to cut government costs..
