SEC Workers - how does it feel to finally be going back?

[Anonymous]

Does it feel real? Leaving your pajamas for the commute?

So I’ll go surf the internet at the office instead of home once in a while. Shrug. Still a pretty sweet gig doing nothing for 230k.

Thanks for helping me believe that government is wisely spending my tax dollars. You sound like a loser.

I’m happy to be going back but am also thankful for the flexibility to telework more frequently than before.

Is that all SEC pays?! I'm a finance prof making 350 for about six hours of work per week on average. Glad I'm not a glorified government secretary

230k for nothing beats 350 and working

I suspect the 230k SEC guy works at least 6 hours a week, even if its just reading email. But now i'm sad I only make 210k and actually work all week. OTOH, glad I'm not worried about layoffs like meta/amazon/google folks.

two days a pay period. also clarified in the new bargaining agreement is that a day counts as "in office" as long as more than 50% of your hours are actually in the office. so you could make a few meetings, go home before rush hour, and finish out the day remote.

230 and doing nothing - definitely for real. It all depends on where you are at the SEC. Some divisions and offices you’d work all week for that 230, some you work not at all.
