You click that banner and it takes you to OPM.gov where it says they are hiring. This is the site for the Senior Executive Services! This is the bureaucracy that runs the swamp. The heart of deep state in DC. This is also the group of people directly targeted in one of Trumps last Executive Orders. EO 13979. Ensuring Democratic Accountability in Agency Rulemaking. Trump told us luck was a very important word. Saint Patrick's Day is the 17th of March.

Im guessing it means, this is the agency (opm.gov) that ensures all federal employees are democratic sympathizer and can "gum up the works" when necessary, i.e. freedom of information act.
Sort of, yeah. For the SES and other high ranking GS posts.
Because on March 16, 2020, much of DoD, to the maximum extent possible, started teleworking so that minimal personnel were onsite to reduce exposure and to prevent as many DoD workers as possible from being exposed via work.
This is not at all a secret. Has been nearly a year of it and no end in sight based on word put out so far.

I followed the rabbit hole.
Went to the OPM website archives:
https://www.opm.gov/news/whats-new/2020/
And then pulled the March 17, 2020 status:
https://www.opm.gov/policy-data-oversight/snow-dismissal-procedures/status-archives/20/3/17/Open-with-maximum-Telework-flexibilities-to-all-current-Telework-eligible-employees-pursuant-to-direction-from-Agency-Heads_917/
And that page had a link to the OMB directive on how to handle COVID stuff in the government:
https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/M-20-16.pdf
I don't think its anything big.
It isn't anything at all. It was the government's reaction to a pandemic they didn't understand, so they took extreme measures to reduce DoD employee exposure by allowing them to stay at home if their job could still be done from there. It hasn't changed since that decision was made.

LOGIC. UNDERSTANDING. CREATIVITY. KNOWLEDGE.
Any other relevant acronyms?
If you scroll down the jobs that are open they are mostly in health care fields and many of them for Indian Health Services and some military. Don't really see any senior executive swamp positions listed but I didn't scroll all the pages.
It appears they are hiring due to COVID. That would mean there are not enough USPHS professionals to fill the need. IHS positions in particular are hard to fill because the pay is not comparable to the private sector. So much for good paying government jobs. In addition, some of the locations are a problem and can be in remote areas. I know, because I worked within that system. I was under a grant so the pay for me was at least decent while the traveling was a pain. Unfortunately, since the pay for many of the available positions is low it can attract individuals that may not be able to cut it in the private sector. At the same time, they are serving a population that is often at risk. I saw my share of questionable stuff. Bureaucracy is hardly ever the most efficient way to deliver health care.
Reading what you link is well worth your time.... saves embarrassment... Oh! Wait!

Wait? Has that banner been there for a year or did they just put it up? Cause if its old then this is a nothing burger.
For the love if God ... this is a waste of server space. Yes, it links to OPM. Yes, it says “hiring ... for COVID 19 relief”. You make it sound like they are filling all SES positions. Worked in/for govt for 30+ years. This is not out of the norm.
QUIT MOLE HILLING. fk. Dbl fk. Smh
"new Biden policy" meaning "old Trump policy."
