[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hey, I’m happy because the pickleball courts will now be open during the workday. Can’t count the number of “remote workers” I play with regularly in Arlington.  [/quote]

I just moved from Hawaii to DMV and the amount of Fed teleworking employees I'd see surfing everyday at 1000 was absurd. And before anyone says it, I knew they were feds because I worked in the same place as them.

Everyone knows there were tons of people abusing the system. [/quote]

Maxi-flex is a thing, maybe they worked from 6-10 and 4-8. Still 8 hours but explains their midday activity. Either way, you don’t have facts. You just have opinions.[/quote]
Don't defend them. No one should be surfing or playing pickleball at 1000 if they're a fed employee on telework.

Feds doing things like playing pickleball or surfing during the workday is why telework got taken away. I'm a career fed and I was more than a little annoyed at what my coworkers would tell me they do during the workday. [/quote]

So they can’t surf of Friday if they completed 40 hours M-T and have F off because it is your work day? Are you ok with people golfing on a Monday like our President? Do you think the solution is dissolution of Maxi-flex and AWS to foreclose any perception of impropriety? If my coworkers are holding their weight and actually working their agreed upon hours per day, I don’t care what they do in their legitimate off time or break time. Telework was taken as another tool in the playbook of division and chaos but ok. [/quote]
Don't defend bad behavior.

We all sign something saying we will be online during telework during core hours. Going and surfing or playing pickleball during those hours is violating that agreement. I've been a fed for almost 20 years and have NEVER seen an telework agreement that said you can work whatever hours you want whenever you want.

There's no way you know how every Fed office functions. In my office, core hours are a 3 hour block and they don't care when you finish the rest. Before you say well obviously people aren't finishing the rest, output is closely monitored. If your output isn't meeting standards, then your telework agreement would be revoked. [/quote]
