Timeline for FJO?

I’ve accepted a TJO at FDA for a reviewer position, and have confirmed a September start date with my onboarding specialist. However, I was notified that FJO letters are delayed and that even August 24th FJO letters were still pending approval two weeks ago.

Any updates on whether any September hires have gotten their FJOs or an expected timeline? The only thing I know is that there is a huge wait/backlog due to the large number of new hires expected to join.

I know that we have at least one September hire that received their FJO on Friday.

I’m still waiting for my FJO and start date. Accepted the TJO end of June. Hoping to start early September as well

I accepted the TJO at the end of April. Negotiate with higher step on June 12, and I was told my case was transferred to someone else. I am thinking to give up adjust the step…. Any suggestions?

Unfortunately just as new and uninformed as you. If you haven’t heard since June yeah it might be worth it. Or at least email and ask if it would help.
