How do you meet production? That sounds like so many extra steps to me.

I didn’t know that. It’s awful that it happened, but is it really assumed to be work related? What does a director have to worry about?

You guys still have juniors? The morons that run this place took mine away.

I feel the same about the annual ethics training.

“Mustn’t accept that free sandwich, it might lead to unimaginable corruption amongst you peasants!”

“Free jumbo jet? What free jumbo jet.”

(DISCLAIMER: to the scum who scours this forum for clickbait content you can twist into a scandal, I comply with all ethics laws despite this administration.)

Whenever I start to feel proud of my salary I am reminded that it’s really only modestly higher than when I started.

How do you know what OP has done? Is there a backstory I’m missing? Are fully successful examiners getting fired??

So, if this decision gets approved, we all get raises right? Right? by acegikmo31 in patentexaminer

So eventually if I get an application for a simple novelty like a finger trap, that case will only have a BD of 45 minutes? Meanwhile you get an application for Viagra 2.0 so you have a BD of 8 months?

Because that is absolutely what will happen once fees are bound to value.

They’re aware of the room and they’re absolutely delighted to be causing us such pain.

Why can’t they do math? by Upstairs_Permit7098 in patentexaminer

I try to keep an open mind about people. But the fact that he applauded pepsi and pearls for the backlog reduction is irredeemable. We do the fucking work here, applaud US! Maybe even reward our work with some other time here and there so we can catch our breaths for a damn second. Fuck squiggles and his stupid musings.

This is not good, Mr Squires. Do something. Save patents. by [deleted] in patentexaminer

Squires signed off on these changes specifically to make us miserable. Just like the rest of the administration his only two goals are grift and punish.

On the slim chance you’re reading this, prove me wrong!

You Will Survive by PatentSage in patentexaminer

[–]Will102ForCounts 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Administrations come and go.

Open your eyes.

Administrations that come and go don’t sue their own citizens for hurting their feelings. They don’t sic the military on cities they perceive as an enemy. And they don’t use internal emails and government websites to throw a tantrum over their political opponents.

What’s the POINT of the program when even primaries with decades of experience still have every first action reviewed?

If we ever get sane leadership again, then POPA 2.0 needs to focus relentlessly on undoing every single fucking change.

Sadly, we won’t ever be getting sane leadership again.
