[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The fight against telework is like the fight against allowing women into the workplace in the first place. There were ups and downs, some industries worse than others, forward progress and occasional backward progress, but in the end, you can’t put the cat back into the bag. I’m not saying that full remote work for everyone whose job can support it is the future, but some level of remote work, probably a hybrid arrangement, is likely to become the norm over the next 5-10 years. Covid was a rapid accelerant on the change, and now there’s a bit of backlash to how rapid the change was, but over time it will normalize.

Unfortunately for those of us who work for the federal government, our dear leader and his cronies have realized that, although in a less obviously offensive way, turning back the clock of progress will force some people to quit, which is their ultimate goal. There’s no notion of fairness, efficiency, or cost-savings here — it’s purely a tactic to force people, particularly those who have already seen how they can be just as effective, more efficient, and happier with some level of telework (whether a few days a pay period or more), to quit.[/quote]The party is over. The employees were not just as effective or more efficient. We had a good run at it for 5 years but now it’s over. [/quote]
