Yep, still doing it too. I could copy/paste the same five things every week and no one would notice. Hoping this ends soon, too.

Can't understand why you people think this is so hard. Unless you're not doing anything. And if you're posting the same 5 things every week do we really need you?

I guess we don’t need the people at DFAS who pay you either right 🙄 Really?

Our department was never asked. But from what I gather, it was everyone under the executive and legislative branches

We were given so many conflicting directives, do it, don't do it, no do it, no don't do it, and so on. I'm not really sure where it is now. I assume the mailboxes are full and no one is reading them anyway. So people might as well copy/paste five snippets of Lorem Ipsum prose and call it a day.

I am a federal employee. I am still writing my weekly “5 bullets”. I don’t understand why this is so hard. In the private world I have to give status. How long is this taking you to write? How is this a colossal waste of time? Government employees waste so much time with “water cooler” conversations. I usually write:
Had scrum meeting.
Had backlog refinement meeting.
Had meeting with supervisor.
Collaborated with people in another department.
Designed software.
Implemented software.
Collaborated with teammates to design/implement software.
Think about the receiving end of these emails. There are 2 million federal employees. Who is reading 2 million weekly emails? Im guessing they are feeding the emails into some sort of AI. Meh. Just write your emails on Mondays and press on with your work.

Friend of mine was supposed to receive an offer (told verbally) from Deloitte and then just found out they are pausing on hiring the role. How common is that? Seems wildly unprofessional that none of the partners called and instead it was the recruiter conveying that news. At McKinsey, if that happened, the head of the practice or the office would personally make the phone call at the very least.

What should my requested salary be for a Senior Intelligence Analyst position with CrowdStrike ? I have a bachelors degree and 5 years of experience as an intelligence analyst. Current salary is 56k in NC, but when I was in DC I was making 86k (big locality change)… which makes me confused on what I should expect for a remote job.
