OPM tomorrow thumps up or down

[Anonymous]

Delayed opening, and Unscheduled leave / telework.

DCPS might open with a delay: kids need hot meals.

Honestly though it’s on trend for fed govt . I’ve been feeling more and more every year that my non- telework fed job just hates parents and wants us all to quit.

At least there's a chance you won't need to take leave. Assuming schools close tomorrow, telework-eligible feds will be stuck taking leave even OPM closes offices.

Dude- be thankful for your telework flexibility and take your one measly day of leave.

Why take leave….versus just teleworking?

There won’t be enough snow to warrant closing the government. Employees without telework agreements would get a snow day if the weather was worse but it’s been a few years since we’ve had a decent snowstorm.

It’s a joke for those of us who can’t telework- over in the school forums everyone’s saying to get your contingency plan in place because it will be too dangerous for teachers to drive to school but it’s fine for the rest of us to drive to work?

It's going to be fine for teachers to drive to school. They just want the day off.

Yeah, I can't remember the last OPM delay even, let alone a closure. Anyone?

Probably Jan 2022? There was enough snow that we had to shovel it (I saw the picture on my phone memories a few days ago).

Schools being closed means kids will be home.

If your kids are young enough they can't stay home alone during a snow day, then they're young enough you can't telework either.

Ah, I see. Thanks!

What's there to be thankful of, assuming you chose to live close to work? I never telework, nor do I want to.

Not everybody has telework.

You don't understand. In these sorts of events, major roads are usually safely passable, but only if there aren't too many people on the road. It's a density issue. So the goal is to remove a swathe of the population from transport, so others can go to work. Children and school buses are vulnerable, so they're the first to be told to stay home. Nobody cares about the teachers, and the parents of those kids who need to scramble. If you're expected at work, you're on your own to get out of your neighborhood and onto main arteries or public transport systems. The goal here is to save lives on the road.

Other peeps, DO NOT clutter up the road if you don't absolutely have to. Leave them free for people like PP. Thank you.

They always do. Winter break, spring break, and summer isn't enough, apparently.

You do realize contracts are 9 months.

I’m boiling. It is totally unfair. Teachers (public employees, mind you) get a free day while we have to risk our lives either commuting in, burn a day of leave, or try to balance the kids, who’ll want to play in the snow, while productively WFHing. Either OPM needs to reevaluate its priorities and commitment to families, or schools need to be the last service to close.

Except for days after it snows a little bit?
