| I'm guessing no one is going to talk about this on here, but my kid's dad is a very well-paid fed who is constantly on personal vacation. I mean, I've lost track of how many times per year he has been off traveling, plus breaks with the kids winter break, spring break, summer vacations, being chaperone for their field trips, able to pick them up early after school, attend their sports practices at times most people are working. This is has been ongoing for years. How much leave to federal employees get or is he milking the system? It would be impossible that this is carryover year after year and he is not the type to be up on his computer late into the night. I am working in the wrong sector. |

| I know someone who before covid has a husband who is a fed employee who worked from home. She said he had 2 pcs and would watch movies on the second screen all day. Only worked when he would cram to finish project. He would go to India for summers and “work” while visiting family. She couldn’t stand it and had to leave the house because she found she couldn’t work from home either. She said she was not productive because she would do things around the house instead of working. |

It's too general. We need a specific agency or it's a troll post.

Seriously! This was my first thought as well. That’s great OP. You’re so lucky. Especially to have coverage for all breaks! |

Before covid, there were people in my office who would show up at 9 AM then disappear for the rest of the day. Maybe you'd see them again once in the afternoon. But good luck ever finding them during the day.
WFH or not, some people will always game the system. It's not about WFH. |

Because he has a bad work ethic and cheating on his job is indicative of poor morals and poor character. Not something one wants their children to learn from and emulate. |
