Let’s hope the departures coupled with the outpouring of misery makes Atkins realize he can’t get his agenda done without pockets of staff at different times working way more than 50 hours per week.

MUs hands were not tied. Sorry, the EO cannot abrogate a contract. What he did was unlawful and unnecessary, end of story.

I didn’t realize the arbitration addressing this issue had occurred already.

Disagree. Get off the thread if you don’t like it. Go away.

They’re treating us like babies that can’t be trusted. Do you expect us to gush over how they’re punishing us out of pettiness and spite? Or what, we should prostrate ourselves in humble gratitude for a shitty work environment with steadily eroding pay and benefits? It’s hilarious how people like you think we should all accept crumbs and be thankful for it.

I would be so thankful for the crumbs of my SEC job back now.

Their hands were NOT tied at all. The EO or memo or whatever clearly gave at least two outs: it gave discretion to agency heads, and it did not override CBAs. The normal, reasonable thing to do would have been simply to go back to pre covid posture.

Are you saying you got fired/RIF’d from the agency? I am thought all departures have been voluntary so far.

If you don’t work your 50 hours and get the work done, you’ll be accused of slow walk-ing policy and will get fired under Schedule F.

You’ll work 50 hours and like it, buttercup!

The whole reason it's "buttercup" is that it rhymes with "suck it up." You don't say "and like it, buttercup" for the same reason you don't say "snug as a bug in a carpet."

Do we expect actual agency guidance on the implementation of this telework?

No because the moment any guidance comes through, one asshat will post it here and another will take a picture and send it to Reuters. Please everyone just stop.

This is not an environment where you want detailed guidance. This is an environment where you want supervisor discretion.

Couldn’t Atkins at next town hall just saying yeah we have to arbitrate but as a gesture of good faith, everyone gets 1 telework day per wk back? What’s Doge gonna do - fire him?

Everyone at a finreg needs to stop asking questions! You will end up with an answer you don’t want. Stay quiet, do your work and this will pass.

Oh yeah, sure. The last 2 months have shown them to be so trustworthy and full of integrity.

EXACTLY. Nobody is going to fire the chair of the SEC just bc he went back to pre COVID telework posture (which existed during THIS PRESIDENT!!!!).
