Great work by @USOPM  which has cut its annual spend on federal contracts by 50%—from $484M to $242M—while improving both the quality and scope of its services.

On January 20, 2025, OPM had 444 active contracts, and has since taken action on 191 contracts via terminations, descoping and non-renewals.

Key savings highlights include:
- $12M saved by internalizing retirement-related projects, culminating in the fully digital http://retire.opm.gov
-$5.9M saved via restructuring the IT helpdesk and implementing efficiency measures. As a result, the average ticket backlog dropped by 30%.
- $39M saved by restructuring two underutilized IT contracts

What is OPM US Government

The United States Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is an independent agency of the U.S. government that manages the federal civil service. It provides federal human resources policy, oversight, and support, including healthcare (FEHB), life insurance (FEGLI), and retirement benefits (CSRS and FERS) for federal government employees, retirees, and their dependents. OPM serves as the chief human resources agency and personnel policy manager for the Federal Government. As of January 20, 2025, Charles Ezell is the acting director.

Highly human resources Ridicules.

Fixed it.

And they have to much power and control. And by that I mean all HR departments across the Country. They have turned themselves into POWER FREAKS AND HAVE GOTTEN OUT OF CONTROL.

They need to be eliminated and returned to their original function of being in charge of PAYROLL and ONLY PAYROLL.

Years ago I had to go to a 3 day "class" (I was working the 3 Shift at Night that week) and one of the things that was spewed from the mouth of the speaker was it takes 21 days to form a habit. I was in the Water Treatment Plant and We worked 12 hour shifts, 3 shifts On, 2 Off. Then 2 On, 3 Off. Every Month We would swap from Day Shift to Night Shift and then back again the next Month.

I asked if they ever looked closely at Our Time Sheets ? Then I was asked why did I ask that. So I told them.

Next Shift I get called into My Supervisor's Office and asked "What did you do to the hr instructor ?" I said that I had asked a relevant question and explained it.

He said OK You're right.

All such “classes” should be ended. They just provide make-work for bureaucrats working at high salaries.

What is the meaning of an “independent agency“ of the federal government? Does it mean that no one has any oversight over them? I think they are taxpayer funded.
