[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, are you the only one in the world who has your "specialized skill?"

If not, then you should fully expect that your employer WILL find someone else somewhere who will work remotely for much less.

Why should they keep you on the payroll when there is a fully-qualified person who is willing to work for much less AND will be more than happy to come in to the office (even if they fly on their own dime) for meetings when it is required.

Bingo. If you aren't making great money go ahead and advocate to WFH but if you're making "high 6 figures" like the rest of DCUM you're crazy if you think you can't be replaced for much less. [/quote]

Not OP, but I have only just barely cracked 6 figures for a mid-career fed SME job, I'm absolutely here for the work life balance and not willing to go back to commuting daily. And I can't be replaced quickly because our HR is desperately broken - my last fed job will maybe be replacing me in April, 2 years after I left.

So I'm confident to say I have a leg to stand on until or unless Congress or the president changes the current policy. If they do, I'll be job searching. I'm thinking about professional development and certifications that would make me more marketable outside my SME area just in case. [/quote]
