[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Cities threatening to get rid of tax breaks for companies if they don’t RTO, because apparently small businesses are suffering, downtowns are becoming ghost towns, CRE values are plummeting & public transportation is being crime-filled due to normies no longer taking it.[/quote]

Honestly, I am sick and tired if the FT WFH evangelists acting like these are not valid concerns. They are. Acting as if they are not is making the RTO worse. If you’re unwilling to meet halfway with hybrid, they’ll just make everyone come in all the time. The war path is over. People go back now.[/quote]

Not true. There are still companies and jobs that ate fully remote. They will be more desirable. [/quote]

Yup. I'm a fed who goes into the office once a week. The new OMB memo has me throwing in an application for every remote job I'm remotely qualified for, just in case they order us back 3-5 days. I'm also starting to look for non-fed jobs closer to home for the first time in years. I'm not eager to leave, I am invested in the program I manage and had planned to stay in this job a couple more years and the government for the rest of my career, but the 2.5-3 hours of commuting a day is just a deal breaker.

Hope you leave. Agencies have been inundated with applications. Just look at all the DCUM threads wanting advice about the gravy train. In reality, you’re going nowhere because you have it so good. You know that. You’re just gaslighting management to see if they blink. It was your choice to live where you do. You were probably one of those during the pandemic that trolled your neighbors and friends about your new 6000 sq ft home in the suburbs. Well, the joke is now on you. [/quote]

I was hired during the pandemic from my small home near my spouse's job, and was very clear that I already lived where I lived and was not willing to commute in every day. I make 100k, thats not enough to move a family into DC in 2023, not sure what "gravy train" you're talking about.

I'll do my job as long as it works for my life, and if it doesn't, I'll get a new one closer to home. Just like anyone would do. I'm not mentioning this to my boss or threatening to quit, so I'mnot sure where you're getting gaslighting. And if I resign, my position will be vacant for 1-2 years - there are definitely qualified people but HR is a total mess and we can't actually hire. [/quote]
