[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m just tired of being hated on. Like so insulted.  members get served by Feds in so many ways they don’t even know yet they all are lt hate us all.[/quote]

Agreed.  Teleworking also allows me flexibility to provide better service because I can schedule phone calls with people outside of business hours in my time zone.

You can just ask the people I've helped.  I'm proud of what I have accomplished.[/quote]

+1. Plus I end up working more because I am not commuting. There is not a single study showing a drop in productivity due to feds teleworking.

But also joke’s on them— because of pay compression losing DC locality pay would  hardly touch my salary. [/quote]

There are some loafers who don't work during telework and they should be getting rid of them first. [/quote]

Totally agree but guess what, making those people show up in the office isn’t going to make them be more productive[/quote]

NP, those loafers would be the first to not show up in the office. I know for a fact that this is true. Many don't have childcare or a way to come back to the office and would quit. I even know people who have put off retirement to loaf while they telework. Others of us are very productive teleworking. The thing is, managers don't have the ability to effectively manage telework. It's not like the private sector where you can just fire people for not working. It takes about a year of nonstop documentation that someone isn't working to fire them, and usually during that time the person starts magically working harder. And then when you back off tracking them, they go back to not working. It's a vicious cycle for managers.[/quote]
