Should Petty Friday Live or Die? Federal Employees, Tell Us What You Want From Hey Feds

Should Petty Friday live or die? That is the question Shaun Southworth is putting to federal employees this week, and he is only half joking. Not many viewers say they like the segment, so it may be time to retire it. But the bigger point is that Southworth PC is planning its content for the rest of the year, and the firm does not want to decide how it shows up for federal employees without asking federal employees first.

Why We Are Asking Now

This week the Southworth PC leadership team sat down and planned the next quarter, including every goal the firm has for the remainder of the year. Advocating for federal employees means more than reacting to the news. It means asking the people we serve what they actually need, and several questions on the table simply cannot be answered without you.

The Questions We Need You to Answer

If you watch Hey Feds videos, read the Federal Employee Briefing, or have ever forwarded one to a coworker, this is aimed at you. Among the things we want to know: Do you want to hear from other attorneys at the firm, or just Shaun? Do you prefer longer videos or shorter ones, more of them or fewer? What topics are we missing? And yes, Petty Friday: keep it or kill it?

How to Weigh In

There is a short form at fedlegalhelp.com/feedback. It is completely anonymous. We do not ask for your name or email, and we do not collect any of that information. It takes about five minutes, often less. You can also leave your thoughts in the comments on any of our videos, since our system now picks those up. The form, though, is what will actually shape the plan.

Why Your Input Matters

Federal employees come to this content under real professional stress, and the goal has always been to give you information you can use, in plain English, when you need it. If you have followed our work at all and want a say in what it becomes, this is the moment. Thank you, Feds. We mean that.
