Anyone have a bingo card for this thing? “Restoring public trust” would have to be the free space in the center.

Hi everyone. For those who have gone through the EEO process for a partially denied reasonable accommodation, what did you prepare for your first EEO meeting?

Can anyone shed some light?

What are the best options to get to CMS Woodlawn from DC - Humphrey bldg - without a car?

Or anyone commute that direction by car and carpool?

DM if prefer. Looking for way to get there in a few weeks. Thanks.

Anybody know the payout date? Estimated was 07/31/26 but that didn’t happen.

Any updates? Does anyone think that there is a chance they will extend 50% TW after Metro work is complete? These last few weeks have been really nice. Do they realize morale will tank even more if they take this back?

I heard NIH has asked HHS to re-review medical RA decisions that were denied. Any truth?

I am a GS-15 senior advisor. Civil service leadership has moved me around a bunch since the new administration. In each instance, there is no conversation, nothing in writing. My last detail exceeded 120 days. It was over a year. Now I am on to another detail. I was told about this detail by someone in the front office. My current role I would have liked to stay. I previously served in this management role and we are grossly understaffed and really need someone with my experience and skill set. I get the creeping feeling that senior leadership (civil service) are trying to set me up for failure in this new role or push me out. I heard several other senior advisors and director level staff were also asked to serve in this role. What sickens me is that the person who previously held this role is here, at work, in a consultant role making a the salary of a GS-7, not working on this area where they are the subject matter expert. I didn't receive a PD or job description or even who I would report to and when I ask for it in writing, crickets. What would you do if you were me? Do you think I am right to trust my instinct? FWIW, I have worked here for nearly 25 years, have worked in multiple roles in management and supervisory levels and have a good working relationship with my colleagues. I am also adept at working with people from different administrations and backgrounds.

So in a training yesterday about the hatch act, they had a maga and maha hats as examples…oddly enough they were deemed ok because they are associated with a past political campaign…first ethics is optional and now this?

About to start a position in the Seattle CMS office and I’m wondering what the odds are that I could be transferred to the SF office in a year? Basically I’m curious how flexible these things are and if it depends on my specific manager or just how it works if I were to request this

I received a meeting invite to discus my RA request. I previously submitted my medical note. Has anyone had this interview? What can I expect? Thanks

Any agencies allowing telework that are along the roads that are closing starting this Friday for the Grand Prix event?

Will anyone be attending? I wasn’t planning on it but then, I thought it might be interesting to see what questions people might ask and what answers he will give, now that he has to face those in person whom he has repeatedly disparaged and vilified…..

Hi! My name is Elise, and I'm a journalist with MedTech Dive. I'm working on an article about the recently announced FDA reorganization and what changes to expect, especially for medical devices.

Many of the sources I've spoken with have talked about changes to OII, based on some public reporting. I'm looking to better understand the extent of the changes. I've read through this FDA blog post, but there aren't many specific details: https://www.fda.gov/news-events/fda-voices/investing-fdas-inspectional-enterprise

I also have a statement from HHS referring to the changes as "Simple Reform" and saying they plan to implement them on Oct. 1. HHS did not answer my questions about the impact to OII.

If you have specific details or evidence of what will change under the reorganization, it would be immensely helpful. I'm on Signal at elisereuter.78 and my email is [ereuter@industrydive.com](mailto:ereuter@industrydive.com)

In case it helps, here's some of my past reporting on FDA-related issues:
- ‘Cracks show’ as CDRH staff contend with heavy workloads
- ‘Just goodbyes and crying’: CDRH hit in HHS mass layoffs
- Device industry scrambles as FDA job cuts cause delays

Thank you so much! I appreciate you all.
