[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We got rid of some office space during pandemic, remote employees have changed office location, although most remote employees are remote locally. Basically, some employees change teleworking status (before Covid) to remote status, with SF 50 duty station changed too.

There is no funding to get more office space (flat funding, majority of funding goes to employees' salary; while salary/other costs increase annually, there is not even enough money to fill every vacancy).[/quote]

I think less safe, not more.  Overcrowding offices and creating untenable working conditions - or even just the constant threat of them - will work perfectly toward their goal of reducing the federal workforce.  Many people will simply quit.  [/quote]

Yeah, how are all these people frantically looking for outlets so they can sit indian-style with their laptop not literally tripping all over each other?[/quote]

You people are so dramatic trying desperately to paint RTO like some sort of Dante's hellscape, that it really undermines what a reliable advocate you are for WFH. You all come off as elitist brats who have zero grit or problem solving skills. You do realize that you're griping about the lifestyle of college educated workers. Most of America who do shift work and get paid hourly don't give a rip about how you want to maintain the convenience of being able to take suzie to soccer practice at 5, right?  Read the f-ing room.

This particular thread is literally about whether RTO will be forced on federal workers whose agencies don't have space. People are proposing how it works in the private sector and people are responding to those posts. Federal workers don't have to stay late to make up the work missed when they can't find a desk, and union boomers are much quicker on the draw with reasonable accommodation requests and workplace safety complaints. So yes, it would be prohibitive to establish something like these stories for agencies who gave up their buildings. It would take years to secure appropriate space, by which time Trump's term would nearly be over.[/quote]

You do learn to work in an open environment.  There are even arguments that you're more productive because you're more likely to speak with colleagues to problem solve and ideate vs sit alone in your office stumped.[/quote]

Most feds are not developing new ideas.  They are, if anything, trying to avoid chatty coworkers so they can finish running TPS reports.  [/quote]
