IRS BSA interviews — anyone heard back from HCO?

Has anyone who interviewed for the IRS SB/SE Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) Revenue Agent position in September heard back from HCO or received a tentative offer?
I interviewed during the week of September 14 and am still waiting. Curious if anyone has received an update or heard anything about the hiring timeline. Thanks!

Pay

Did anyone get paid? I bank with Capital one and I always get paid on Saturdays and on the Fed employees subreddit a lot of other agencies have the same complaint

Why doesn’t the IRS prepare its instructors or recruit seasoned trainers?

I am in a training class, and the experience has been poor so far. The trainers seem confused, and some get upset when we ask questions. I feel unprepared and think I’m going to look for employment elsewhere. I have never experienced anything like this. I’m a new hire and they rotate different employees to train us, and most are horrible. . I expected high quality training because we handle sensitive data and people’s livelihoods.

Collection Appeals Settlement Officer

Has anyone received a firm and/or tentative offer for the settlement officer job?? Have talked to a few people who received email for referral status but nothing after that. Few people with interviews but have heard nothing since? Seeming like new hires will onboard October 19

Adjudication

Hey, has anyone ever been in the hiring process and submitted a response to an adjudication of being told you were unfit? If so, how did that go? Do they usually move someone forward who has corrected the issue and working to clear the issue. It’s an outstanding tax balance.

Are stress breaks no longer allowed in Accounts Management?

For those in Accounts Management/call-site environments, has your management ever had a blanket policy that stress breaks are not allowed and that employees should use leave instead if they become overwhelmed? I’m not talking about employees taking them excessively or after every call. I mean legitimate situations where someone needs a few minutes after an especially difficult interaction. Curious whether this is standard IRS practice or something that varies by manager/site.

Is a blanket “no stress breaks” policy normal now? Was this common before the recent union/contract changes, or is this more of a local management decision?

Long story short

I was on an approved telework RA since 2023. Always approved, no big deal. Enter 2025 RTO EO….its been a damn nightmare!!! I have a large EEO case with multiple amendments because the retaliation just won’t quit. Well I have now received all 1,229 pages of my ROI. So I have 2 questions for everyone
1-Do I file an FAD or go pro se and request a hearing?
2-I have a new amendment I tried to get added before the ROI was done but it didn’t get added so now do I create a new EEO complaint or???? How do I get it added to my complaint?
Looking for helpful opinions for these questions NOT “call a lawyer” I don’t have $10K for a retainer right now.
TIA for your input
