lisah, I didn’t realize you were federal now.
I'm just, uh, just feeling kinda... truthsome right now. And, uh... life's just too damn short for ifs and maybes.

Man the problem with keeping lists like that is that with the size of modern organizations there are SO MANY people who deserve a good Facelessing.

I've read in a couple of places that the language of the DEI notices/emails sent out by government agencies were from a template given to them, and no one was allowed to alter or edit them.

Which doesn't excuse things AT ALL, but does sound like the agencies weren't given any leeway.

Ah, Atropa, that makes sense. I mean the kind of sense that is horrible, but that's where we are now.

Yeah it was clearly a template they had to use. It's still gross and unprofessional and insulting to the staff.
I was supposed to take civil rights training within the next few months; I wonder if it will be cancelled?

lisah, I didn’t realize you were federal now.
I’m back working as a federal contractor which I did for a long time before going to the private sector. I swore I’d never go back but needs must.

Yes, my housemate here in the East Bay works for the federal Department of Health and Human Services in SF, and he got a notice exactly as JenP described.
So, can confirm that it looks like a horrible template.
