We live in DC and I drive into my office 5 days/week near the WH/WB/IMF/Foggy Bottom.

It felt the same as any other Monday in my area. Of course, things may have been more congested in Navy Yard or L'Enfant Plaza. Not sure how Metro looked.

A lot of non-feds WFH on Monday and a lot of people were off after the Super Bowl. It will be a few weeks until there's a clearer picture when everyone is actually back in the office. Some agencies have a few more weeks before reporting.

Midtown NYC has higher occupancy levels than pre-covid and put in congestion pricing.

DC workers fail to understand is that 9-5 is min hours worked not work hours.

My old job people came in between 7-9pm and left between 5 pm and 8pm. We were all in the office 9-5. So commute spread out. Some worked long hours, others hit gym, ran errands, went out to drinks or dinner. NYC has operated this way for years.

The entire world should definitely operate like NYC. This is the way.

Unclear why you are so angry with DC. Better not to buy a Tesla.

Not PP but the mayor wanted everyone back just for money no other reason. F everyone else DC wanted their money.

Don't give them what they want.

Boss asks them to come to office, How dare you!

None of those jobs require years if not decades of schooling or talent. It's stupid of you to compare them.

I can't afford to do any of that on my fed salary and actually afford our mortgage, with all the inflation price increases, so no danger of me buying anything - including lunch.

All the buildings will have sold and the federal government will barely exist. So there's that.

This is so funny. How many feds do you know? We all mow our own lawns, don’t have maids and we make our coffee at home.

You sound like a foreign troll. No one says gardener or maid
