editI moved the following to the talk page as it is pure opinion--Mataharii 21:01, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
- The Bush Administration has virtually turned the U.S. Office of Personnel Management into a non-entity. Most of OPM's role in safeguarding the federal merit system has been eliminated because of delegations of personnel functions to the federal agencies. As a result, OPM funding has been substanitally reduced, the field structure which monitored the merit system was eliminated except for a few thinly staffed offices. Federal agencies admit the merit system is in jeopardy because managers do not assure fair hiring and promotion of the best people, including blatant violations most personnel practices.
- Good decision! -- Josh Thompson 15:24, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
It's OK, I have some of the sources. A lot of it happened in San Diego when Mayor Susan Golding was in office. The last testing session for the 300-C clerical series was given in the San Diego OPM in the mid-90's, before the federal lay off and before they closed the San Diego OPM and other OPMs across the country. They actually had the next 300-C clerical test in the same rooms in the San Diego Civic Center (Silver and Copper Rooms) that they give the city civil service tests in, they didn't even use the OPM's office on Front Street (it was still open then). There was no reason for this, but it was at the time that Golding was gaining the "America's #1 City" thing.
Golding wasn't federal, she was local. This move had nothing to do with the federal government. Then it goes on to the MSPB. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.244.163.71 (talk) 15:13, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
if I said "what is the OPM?"
editand someone answered w/ the content of this article, I'd be like "what?" then I wonder if that person would restate it any clearer or what parts they might clarify. n-dimensional §кakkl€ 02:05, 13 December 2009 (UTC)
- How about improving it then? Hekerui (talk) 08:29, 13 December 2009 (UTC)
- I don't know where to get the info. also, perhaps the OPM or other pieces of the gov't have an interest in lack of clarity about this office's function/purpose. Not necess on wikipedia, but broadly. I'm not gonn take initiative unless I see stakes pointing the other way. I guess senator grassley was talking a lot of sh&t on this agency the other nite by way of being anti- the healthcare bill. u wann touch a tangent of that fight right now? hey, maybe no one notices. so, like I said, show me stakes & I'll play. l8r. n-dimensional §кakkl€ 23:36, 14 December 2009 (UTC)
Electronic Questionnaires for Investigations Processing (e-QIP) is the system used by the United States Office of Personnel Management (OPM) to do background checks on people who are applying for federal government jobs (or contractors working for the federal government).
I don't see any reference to e-QIP anywhere on Wikipedia.

- OPM does not handle e-QIPs anymore, and is now handled by the U.S. Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.122.3.238 (talk) 16:37, 16 May 2022 (UTC)
List of Past Directors
editI have changed the List of past Directors in this article to chronological order because I noticed that the order previously used caused confusion in the succession boxes in at least two Wikipedia articles on former OPM Directors including Janice Lachance and Kay Coles James which I have since corrected. --TommyBoy (talk) 03:20, 23 May 2014 (UTC)
- I updated the acting director announced after the 2021 Inauguration. Should we include a section on office organization [1] - e.g. especially about non-career Senate-confirmed appointees and career officials? Maybe also add a subsection, perhaps in history, about presidential memos changing order of succession in the event of acting directors during vacancy of Senate-confirmed appointees?

Directors for OPM serve only one or two years?
editLooking at the list of directors for OPM, they serve only one or two years, which is too short for the role of Director of Human Resources, because they are not really familiar with their job before they are replaced by someone else. Two years is far too short a job duration for the director role. --2601:647:6881:2060:A0BB:D662:51E4:EC6F (talk) 02:49, 26 August 2024 (UTC)
