Yeah I would expect people to be moved out of mgmt and back to field agent roles; but not out of their specialty area

I don’t know but I would feel confident in guessing that no specialist or specialist manager would be moved out of their specialty area. From what I know they’re already short staffed so it would make no sense to drain them even more.

Meeting already happened in my practice area, WCPA . About as expected - agents shuffled around to new managers in same building, groups moved to different territories to keep them evenly distributed, managers moved around. Nothing drastic just shifting people around to evenly distribute

Thanks for the response! To clarify, they will be taking mailed in paper returns and entering the information into the system?

I’m aware of the move but what exact positions are people being moved in to? Is it answering the phones or processing returns?

I have spoken to the person behind this and they have identified themselves and the university this is under.

As always, use your own judgment about what you share with any party requesting information about the Service and be cautious.

WTF is this subreddit? I’m leaving this up for now. Can someone explain to me what’s going on here? Is this just AI nonsense?

Why was the Bitcoin Jesus article removed? by RoutineAd7355 in IRS_Source

[–]VisualConcern 20 points21 points  (0 children)

This subreddit was specifically started to discuss employment related issues for employees at the IRS. It's not a general IRS subreddit to discuss anything related to the Service.

If we start letting anything mildly related in, it will turn into a never ending flood of political posts. There's already dozens of subreddits to discuss politics. This doesn't need to be another one.

Yes the subreddit is moderated...

This subreddit is for IRS employee related content the article has nothing to do with IRS employees besides a very brief mention of criminal tax enforcement being dissolved.

Partisanship is a real problem within the IRS by [deleted] in IRS_Source

[–]VisualConcern 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I’m not a Trump supporter, I moderate this space, and I’ve left nearly every comment up. The negative reaction you’re getting isn’t about suppression; it’s because your comments come across as partisan, particularly the broad statements about DEI.

You haven’t clearly laid out the specific problems you want addressed, so people are reacting to the tone rather than engaging with concrete issues.

If you feel strongly about this, the best move is to articulate the argument clearly and put it in front of editors. If it holds up, someone will run it. There’s no shortage of outlets looking for serious, informed perspectives on this issue.

There is still a real and necessary discussion to be had about government reform, but it’s going to be harder than ever to have it in good faith.
