[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s amazing how much meaner people are on DCUM than on other parts of the internet [/quote]

It’s because people don’t use the report button.  Jeff deletes mean people like a flash.[/quote]

The anti-fed trolling has increased dramatically this year.  [/quote]

There's very little trolling, just a lot of people (probably many of them feds) pointing out that telework doesn't need to be provided.[/quote]

If you don’t have an RA, why is someone else’s accommodation your problem?  Just a bunch of busybodies.[/quote]

Because it’s not being fairly applied. Many of us don’t want to lie and get doctors to sign off on it.

I like RTO. I think if they gave us all 1-2 days of telework everyone would be happy. My agency had a lot of issues with remote work. Employees were not available when needed and of course fed supervisors couldn’t do anything about it. I had one where I had pages and pages of documentation of someone not doing work and not being available (missing meetings) and HR couldn’t do anything more than give warnings. [/quote]

Then instead of ruining it for everyone, how about fixing what was wrong?

My proposal: 
Eliminate AWS - people working 4 10s are not as productive as 5 8s because they get fewer core/productive hours
Institute and enforce daily core hours
Get rid of G phones that allowed telework abuse (like “attending meetings” while in the car line or at the dentist or whatever) 
Enforce locality pay, no one should be living in Richmond and collecting a DC salary. 
Make sure people are actually working where they are living and say they are living.
For a start.[/quote]

Why should someone with a full time telework RA be collecting a DC salary in the first place?[/quote]

Agreed. Full time remote shouldn’t get a COLA. They should get the base salary. [/quote]

My agency was fully remote before COVID and they always adjusted locality pay to where someone lived.[/quote]

Cool. They should stop. I the taxpayer have no interest in subsidizing your location when it’s not part of your job. [/quote]
