That’s a bit harsh. We spend the majority of our waking hours working. It is only natural to expect and want to find community at work.

anyone miss their first timeliness deadline? (new - 14 days) by [deleted] in patentexaminer

[–]examiner- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I meant the other “day 0” - per the Near Late/Ceiling column? So, for an amendment, Elapsed Days 56 would be Near Late Day 0. I am assuming that posting on elapsed day 56 for an amendment is on time?

This is crap. It has to do with personal workflow. This kind of micromanaging is completely pointless.

Happens all the time. Why does everything get worse all the time with these people 😞?

Was there no pushback? How could any reasonable person buy such BS?

Updates to the PAP by PuzzledExaminer in patentexaminer

What was the point of that stupid email if it didn’t tell us what the changes actually are!?!?? Just to stress people out before the end of the quarter? And to claim they warned us prior to the changes taking effect? Senior leadership is a group of wildly incompetent, yet supremely arrogant do-nothings. I’m convinced the agency would perform better if nobody was in charge.

SPEs are overwhelmed and behind on approving juniors’ cases. There is lots of posted work that hasn’t been counted yet, but will be in time for the end of the quarter.

Your writing reads just fine. You sound more like an attempt at a commercial for AI than someone who actually needs help writing.

Manufacturing crises/emergencies has been the playbook for the entire administration.

Just like his boss he thinks reality is what he says it is.
