This is the entire point.

How is that the point? Why would the Board want employees to leave?

They want the people who are not committed to stay. But it will backfire and only those desperate for the job will stay. They will be loyal but work output will suffer.

Federal Reserve full return to office starting Monday which they haven’t fully announced yet. Great leadership. EO’s don’t even apply to us. People are going to be jumping ship fast.


You serious?

spouse is employed at the board and has been remote for 10 years. We live over 90 miles from DC. They have not gotten word yet on what to do next week.Maybe they could use a desk as a reserve bank that is closer to us, but they would just be doing exactly what they do at home, at someone else's workplace (which is mostly talk loudly on zoom).

Your situation is not unique. This is many people at many agencies.

Anyone at an HHS opdiv get anything official yet?

DH is a consultant with State and his project lead announced today that they will continue to WFH as the EO doesn’t apply to contractors/consultants.

Things can change tomorrow but for today, that’s the message.

The NASA director wants us to "embrace the challenge" - but the email just basically said "we will comply" and to wait for more info.

I'm on the edge of my seat but it sounds like we may actually know anything today. If we have to go back in, just tell me already.
