Read the above Glassdoor review and feed bad for those employees.
Advice to management- lay off and rip the bandage off.
I don’t think this advice is helpful and resolves the issue. Having a job is better than getting laid off. I know keeping the govt job is very hard these days, but we all need the money and the job, right?

Well person above who posted I feel is a married women who moved out of state and had kids since Fannie went 100 percent WFH in Feb 2020. Fannie Mae is very generous with severance and if laid off get unemployment.

She does not want to move back to the area after being gone 5 years as expensive and put down roots elsewhere. But wont quit as salary high and a ton of severance on table.

So she is hoping to get laid off. They pay people like 4 weeks a year severance plus a prorated bonus plus she will get unemployment.

If lets say she is there 12 years. And gets a 120K bonus (not uncommon) If laid off 6/30 she gets a years pay plus 60K prorated bonus plus six months unemployment. She rather get that than actually have to go back full time .

But I think the point of 100 percent return to office is to bet people like her to quit. It is a game. To be honest Fannie/Freddie/CSS has way more ex-employees than current employees who live in the DMV area. Me personally I don't see risk to losing people.

Makes sense. People who have abused remote work by moving to a cheaper state and still getting NOVA salaries, need to quit. They need to find a job in their state.
Let the locals secure the jobs and be in the office 5 days a week. I would lay off the remote employees first…the ones who do not live in DMV and can’t come to the office

That didn't happen. The government was checking IP addresses and asking managers to confirm the locations of their staff. Everyone was receiving the correct pay for their physical location. The official DC commuting area is huge, it goes to the edge of Richmond, captures some of the Eastern Shore, and southern PA, and includes seven counties in West Virginia.

I can change my op address to match pretty much any area in the us that I want it to display. I have no sympathy for the people who expect a majority of their work hours to be remote.

Every single Fannie and Freddie employee I know had 2nd jobs because there is absolutely no work at all.

It was initially 10% and then more so 25% is total?

FHFA is down by 25% so far and VERA/VSIP doesn’t close until May.

The other waste is a lot of IT people officially never took a vacation day or sick day they let them build up. While fully remote and no accountability never put them in the system. Then while in India for instance where cant access Fannie Lap top would then take a month off. So in effect they are taking double vacation

Other issue with no one tracking time everyone stopped putting in vacation days. They let you accrue up to six weeks vacation. With 8,000 employees Fannie now gives out a six week bonus to every employee leaving or laid off. Everyone has max vacation days in system.

There is/was so much waste and abuse at Fannie and Freddie. Extremely toxic too. Rampant favoritism, Lots of people had other side gigs. Big nexus between managers/directors and contracting company owners. People abusing remote work and going out of country. Those two companies need some cleanup.

Shut up, you ancient old dinosaur, still hanging around, pretending to work while posting on DCUM all day like a pu55y, trying to keep up with your brother in law, wishing you could be back in the 80s partying in NYC and sexually harassing your secretary. What value do you add? You're just a faker trying to ride out another bullsh!t "exec" job contributing nothing. Whatever insight or expertise you ever had expired in the late 90s.

You were an overemployed double dipper so why do you suddenly have a problem with this type of unethical activity?

Yet they are getting $120k bonuses?!? Or did I misinterpret a PP’s comment

Bonuses were from $70k and up. Yes they were tripple dipping!

It is getting totally unhinged the last two weeks. Almost like a E True Hollywood story or a Dateline episode.

Pick your agency or GSE doing Layoffs or RTO, get some popcorn and read the latest reviews.

You will thank me.

Fannie always had lousy reviews. Except there was a time 2018 or 2019 were as part of the annual review they would ask you to post to Glassdoor. And they knew who was who so they were all glowing

Don’t believe them

You could. But people didn’t actually do this, or move to Appalachia or whatever, at the scale that was promised by DOGE. Remember when DOGE and Trump said many feds were working 2-3 other jobs and getting paid and not working their fed job? They said they were going to publish a list of allllll the feds doing this. And, the list never came, of course, because feds are inherently timid rule followers who wouldn't dream of doing that. And then they said they were going to start targeting feds with high net worth. I mean, it's no one's business that I married a rich man, is it? But that list never came either, because most feds are middle class people living paycheck to paycheck and the ones with money generally have it through family and not by doing crime.

I honestly can do multiple jobs easy. In my 8 years big four I often be in charge 3-4 clients at once with staff at multiple companies. I am trained to do it. In 1998-2006 I have 3-4 laptops and 5/6 employee badges as I bounce companies. And that was

My next move I think I want to join Board of Fannie or Freddie or work on DOGE or something in current admin. I like to unleash my fury. I know where all the bodies are buried at Fannie and Freddie. Give me one week I could reinvent it. Or maybe be head FHFA or CFTC or SEC and set me loose. Forget the chainsaw I would bring a flame 🔥 thrower.

I would love to ban the 30 year mortgage, shut down Fannie and Freddie, kill off PCAOB, FHFA, CFTC, CFPB, FINRA, NCUA on day one
