I know management can appeal and we all have to go in blah blah blah. I’m not saying g they will negotiate. But it is the best chance we’ve got.

If management doesn’t negotiate after a union win in arbitration, I think that’s when I leave. Will starting looking in meantime.

Anyone with me?

That is largely how I feel as well. I think it is possible that the heat on TW dies down by the time a decision is reached and maybe the agency will negotiate something.

I'm also considering going part-time at 30 hours per week and then the two hours of commuting will even out. I would be ok on 75% of my salary and that would cover my commuting time so I wouldn't miss any time with my kids.

Problem is going part time really messes up your pension, if you want to assume we will still have one.

I figure it wouldn't be forever though. I don't think 0 telework forever is the future. So if the pension in the future is a little less for some sanity today I can deal with that trade.

I heard that the agency may start hiring towards the end of summer. How will they attract anyone to come?

There’s a fool born every minute. See the other thread, where a poster insisted that it was still a “great gig” and that they’d have “no problem attracting excellent candidates.”

Which I guess is why like 900 people ran for the doors within 3 months.

A lot of those people though were in a win-win situation. Retirement eligible and the ability to get 9 months free work. Not really a fair conclusion, my friend.

But you see I never said they would be great candidates...or even good candidates...or even qualified candidates. But they will be loyal.

I imagine this would largely depend on whether the SEC has to fold the PCAOB in.

The agency may want to hire again but Trump could extend the hiring freeze.

PCAOB provision likely to get thrown out by the Senate parliamentarian.

And the only people we will get are the ones in industry who are inept at dealing with people and explaining anything they know or do. But wait, their resume says crypto!

What about Fed pay parity with Treasury?

I went PT for 10 years when my kids were young 32 hours per week. There was no telework. It does effect your pension, but I was able to keep sane when I needed to be available to my family.

They are rolling out new performance plans?

In 3 hours I've gotten done what would have taken about 7 in the office. So yeah. They're being such idiots. People are much more productive when they aren't showing up exhausted from a 45 min commute - and that's us lucky ones who have a fairly easy commute.

Why are you exhausted from a 45 minute commute? You should get checked out by a doctor, that isn’t normal.

If anything like me up at 5:30 am every day and get back past 5. It is exhausting when you add in family responsibilities.
