The newest and greatest systems. Yeah about that. We can't make them work the way you need, there isn't enough staff to fix the problems. We will fix what we can. Need to keep track of what you did on a case, nope. Want to use AI, you just can't use it in any capacity with personal identity information or in a way that it replaces your judgment.

Maybe we shouldn't have rushed a program into full use more than a year ahead of schedule just to satisfy some rich guy that thought he knew better.

Another arbitration win for telework. This time for our friends over in AFGE.

Despite an arbitrator finding that HUD's return-to-office orders violated its collective bargaining agreement, AFGE expects the agency to appeal the decision.

This is good news for us at IRS as we are an agency covered by one of the orders.

A memo last week tasking agencies with pushing forward implementation of a pair of executive orders aimed at stripping two-thirds of the federal workforce of their collective bargaining rights briefly aroused fears that they would violate a series of court orders.
