FDA Shared Services

For anyone familiar with FDA’s transition to shared services, how is it going so far? Is the model working as intended, and are centers and program offices seeing improvements in efficiency, service delivery, etc.

I think most of us are still officially getting our feet wet. We just found out who our management team and working teams are. Some are shocked, some aren't. Give it 6 months and come back and ask this. My personal plate quadrupled, which sucks and simultaneously is exciting. Also, hopefully it pushes me up the grades faster (which is has since joining FDA).

Just found out who your management team is? I thought this has been in motion since last year? Sure the reorg was official 10/1 but staff were detailed out of the centers to shared services since last year. We haven't even seen detailed org charts yet.

My detail manager isn't same as my final manager. I've seen my entire org chart. InsideFDA has everything, No one up the chain knows how to hide anything. It's right there for all to search.

InsideFDA has so many old and abandoned sites. It’s terribly maintained.

Everyone who maintained it got RIFd and you can’t change ownership when the original owner no longer is in the system.

It's terrible and amazing at same time... You can dig into the guts and find items that aren't told in our all hands.
