[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Of course DC can handle it.  Until the last few years, everyone went to the office 5 days a week.  And, many private companies are not going back to 5 days a week.  I know my law firm is staying at a recommended 3 days in office, although most people are back ~4. It will still be well below pre-pandemic levels.  DC, metro included, will adjust, just like it adjusted down in the early days of the pandemic.  5 days in an office was the reality for many of us for decades of our working life.  It is not impossible for people or for governments to handle this.  [/quote]

[b]I have worked since 1995 and have never worked in an office 5 days a week. [/b]My corporate employer allowed telework. I started in the federal government in 2010 and my agency had telework back then. The maximum days I have worked in the office is three days a week. The flexibility allowed for less traffic. I can't imagine what traffic will be like with the end of federal telework. [/quote]

Well, you are the odd man out. Telework in my agency didn't start until covid. And, yes, it has been abused. As a supervisor, I'm glad it's over. [/quote]

I understand that I worked for a company that adopted telework earlier than most. I too am a supervisor and I have no problem managing my staff from wherever they work. The slackers are going to slack in the office too. Many have or will get RAs so if you think RTO means you don't have to step up and be a manager who can handle a hybrid team well, think again.[/quote]

What is an RA?[/quote]
