It is sucking the life out of me. I’m exhausted when I’m with my kids and and struggling to get stuff done at home. But I don’t think it will be as easy as getting it back in the next admin. Dems never loved our telework either. Best we can hope for is a Dem president who says agencies have to allow unions and follow the agreements.

I’m the meantime I’m praying for a miracle.

I agree that dems didnt love extensive TW but I dont think they have an issue with some telework. My money is in getting something like our pre-COVID TW policy back in a new administration.

I think just 2x a week would make a huge difference.

Maybe how fast we get that depends on how the job market is doing. We need the market to be hot again with employers fighting for employees. I don't know when we will see that again.

Agree 2x/week would make a huge difference. Even 1x/week and a more liberal ad hoc policy.

Personally, 5x/week would be a touch less exhausting if we still had an on site gym. I'm guessing I'm in the minority on this but that little thing would make a world of difference for me.

I agree. With the gym, I could use my lunch to get in a workout. It still sucks to have the commute time but it didn’t preclude getting exercise. Now it’s hard to fit that in after or before the commute given kid obligations.

+1, the gym would help a lot.

Heard they were looking into it but we are losing floors in SP2 to the CFTC. With that loss of space and people all being doubled up, off the table.

Make it make sense: we are losing more space, people doubling up, but PA is dying on the no TW hill? This is absurd.

Wait, what????

The CFTC, or parts of the CFTC, are coming the Station Place?

How is that going to work?

How do you think? Everyone doubled up.


Anyone terrified about what we are missing in the markets and with investors between the loss of staff and demoralization of who is left? The next big crisis has gotten closer because of all this. When they write the report, what PA did kissing up to Trump instead of focusing on the agency and his utter disregard of staff will be in the “why did the SEC miss it” chapter.

Supposedly we are going to be hiring a bunch of people too in the next few months. VERA and Fork last year, hiring more people this year.

Assuming this is true, it’ll have to be more than just doubling up. At least for now, these are two separate agencies. They’ll presumably have to have separate suite space for Commissioners and their staff, OIG, probably ethics, maybe space for various front offices. There would probably have to be a lot of remodeling to make this happen beyond just consolidating line staff into shared offices.

That will all happen once the SeC staff is out and stuffed into SP1.

Maybe they will offer a VERA when they move everyone. Get more of the old people out so PA can hire younger ones.

The CFTC isn’t that big. I don’t know that they could fill SP2, at least on all floors. I don’t know if it would be that clean of a break, although I assume we wouldn’t have people completely mixed together.

Why offer VERA when people will probably be miserable enough to quit on their own, although those folks quitting may skew younger.
