Anyone receive the Fork in the Road email?

Somebody I know mentioned it, and then sent me a link to the guidance OPM pushed out like an hour ago.

If I'm reading it right, if you're in a fireable position and resign by February 6th, you'll go on paid administrative leave for the next 8 months before peacing out in late September.

It also said they're leaving it up to the agencies to decide whether or not they'll place any restrictions on deferrers getting outside employment while on paid leave. :sneaky:

HR and I were discussing how remote works...because I'm fully remote from everyone now. My boss was fully remote. She works at a satellite office but has been WFH for a few months for a variety of reasons.

Remote only works when the leader has significant capacity to manage their personnel. Yes, you 100% need to babysit a significant majority of the adult working population. Mind, that the office is a crutch for a lot of bad leaders. And many of them can't manage people well in the office either.

My company was 100% remote. We were structured as a Results Only Work Environment ( Results-Only Work Environment | Encyclopedia.com ). I refused to pay for office space for an IT consulting business. The biggest problem we had was finding people for technical positions that were capable of working from home without a set schedule. These were very senior technical people (Architect level) with a minimum of 15 years hands-on experience in their discipline and a proven record of success. The type of people you would think would be self-starters and focused on their tasks.

I went through an average of 8 people (not interviews, actual hires) to find one that made it past their first commitment... Literally all they had to do was to complete their tasks when they said they would have them done. But they just couldn't seem to make it happen. There were too many people that needed the structure of daily office hours.

Time to double-dip! Contracting isn't employment. Take the leave and find a contract job.
 
Back when I was a retiring, the Army was at the beginning of acknowledging its recruiting/retention crisis. I got a letter (we all did) offering to let me stay in a couple extra months to get the numbers through the start of the next FY. I took it. Kind of the opposite of this, I guess.

Holding a vote in the SCIF? I can see having the discussion in a SCIF, maybe. But voting? No, we need that out in the open.

I think it's the Deep State. Same traitorous filth that cost us wars, sterilized & abused kids, covered up a Chicom plague, etc, are afraid of losing their grip on power. I don't think they're going to go quietly into the night. Not to mention the foreign players that have entrenched themselves in DC.

It's times like these I miss Lindy and Andoni. They were much better at explaining this without sounding like tin-foil hatters.

Reading the announcement I don't think the DoD will receive letters.

I stand corrected. Some folks in the office are receiving the letters while others are not. I don't know what the break point is...maybe the 10-year mark? I don't know.

OPM has a new email address that can communicate to all federal employees.
The email went out late last night to every Fed in the country. Most people aren't scrolling down to see the section that says:

"...except military personnel, USPS employees, positions related to immigration enforcement/national security, and those specifically excluded by your agency."

Something I'm noticing with this/some of the EOs is they are forcing agencies to be reactive instead of proactive. Why not avoid all the confusion and headache by giving agencies a short period (7/15/30 days) to determine where cuts are and then provide that information?

I'm assuming it's because they are trying to get around injunctions and lawsuits, but those are happening anyways.
 
I mean, if confidential emails won't be confidential amongst attorney...perhaps we should get ourselves some new attorneys?

Swamp critters are mad that their duly elected head of government can send them nice Christmas messages? Welcome to the Army in 2011.
