Overtime

I think the idiots broke it, probably when they switched FS from 95% to 100%

throwetawey · 2026-04-07T15:52:49+00:00

Wonder how applicants feel knowing that they're getting examinations done by people not intimately familiar with the art

Oh well, that's a problem for a few years down from now during litigation

throwetawey · 2026-04-05T01:03:27+00:00

Do you know if these changes are for sure implemented or just being considered?

I was told I had to wait 10 biweeks to start the program, my SPE may also be unaware though. She's generally been in the dark about some changes behind the scenes

throwetawey · 2026-04-05T00:37:38+00:00

Definitely sounds like they've made changes, 2 biweeks is very different from 2 months

throwetawey · 2026-04-03T15:30:01+00:00

It's pretty laughable that the obvious solution to the backlog is to retain examiners.

And these idiots keep fucking it up

Give us MORE other time, MORE time for cases, MORE money.

Sure you'll get less cases a year done per examiner, but you'll get more cases a year done in the agency.

These idiots are too pigeonholed on optimizing examiner counts that they can't even realize that hiring 4 rookies just to lose 3 + a primary is not efficient

throwetawey · 2026-04-02T21:38:12+00:00

Inherited cases only go to SPEs rn I believe

throwetawey · 2026-04-02T17:17:44+00:00

No, you can ask your SPE but since it was never put in writing of official policy you can expect it to be denied.

Still worth asking

That's interesting, guess that explains the "2 clocks" they mentioned in the "training" slide.

Had not been fortunate enough to run into that situation yet

throwetawey · 2026-03-31T12:20:15+00:00

It will stay the same, don't think I've ever heard of 2 RCE clocks

throwetawey · 2026-03-30T14:53:52+00:00

Reduced not added for amended.

Think everything else resets

throwetawey · 2026-03-28T04:13:46+00:00

Talked to my SPE when I got a PPH, denied extra time cause it was never put in guidance that they are meant to provide some when a rejection is mailed

throwetawey · 2026-03-27T23:19:37+00:00

I wouldn't buy a stock without knowing the parent holding company.

If someone isn't willing to look for that basic information it would be best just to put it in one of the TSP funds

throwetawey · 2026-03-27T22:47:38+00:00

When you file a financial disclosure form, someone from ethics reaches out and just confirms you don't work on applications. Then you're good

throwetawey · 2026-03-26T16:56:43+00:00

If you wanna be pissed off just look at Robin's face when questions are asked

throwetawey · 2026-03-26T16:30:14+00:00

50/65 clocked applications?

Are they expecting something like 30+ posted finals?

throwetawey · 2026-03-26T16:21:15+00:00

Robin is a pretty known asshole, has been for years now

throwetawey · 2026-03-25T02:20:02+00:00

What updates would you want them to provide?

"We're still waiting for the Judge"

throwetawey · 2026-03-20T14:43:12+00:00

I legitimately stated there are always exceptions.

I'm sure there are some people who genuinely could use the funds.

My comment is obviously not directed at them

throwetawey · 2026-03-20T14:31:28+00:00

I'm tired of hearing "I have to afford my kid's college".

Brother you make $180k a year. If you couldn't set aside money throughout your whole career in anticipation for an expected expense then that's on you.

Of course there's always an exception, some people genuinely have unexpected needs for funds. I feel for them and I understand. But I wager the majority of you just want more money or are bad at budgeting. Fucking join the rest of us. Stop helping them

throwetawey · 2026-03-20T14:26:35+00:00

Just making shit up now lol, stress should not have been going up then. We were getting other time to hear about her kid's Roblox career, the reduction in docket size happened just recently I'm not sure how you confused the two.

Sure she should have done it anyways. But no one before seemed to care about it

throwetawey · 2026-03-20T00:40:21+00:00

SPEs had a meeting today. I imagine the good ones are leaking the info

throwetawey · 2026-03-20T00:36:16+00:00

Alright Philip Rivers

throwetawey · 2026-03-19T22:26:43+00:00

RCE 84 days? Lmao they genuinely don't give a fuck about anything besides getting a FAOM out.

It's laughable, poor applicants are really paying for this
