[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ugh everyone here is clearly abusing their telework policy as well. Don't offer excuses. Teleworking does mean you have to actually do work![/quote]

Yes, this. Telework is supposed to be only so folk can save on commuting time. They are still expected to work the same number of hours as a non-teleworking Fed. I don't get these excuses of 'well, I don't talk to a coworker or browse so I am going to take of or for 2-3 hours on telework days ad head to Costco.[/quote]

Exactly.  And if someone can really "get all their work done" while taking 2 hour Costco breaks during the day regularly, then it's a sign that they either need more work, or the position can be reduced to part time (with part time pay) or eliminated completely.  [/quote]

Here's what you don't get, though.  Someone could have work that should be part time, but lets everyone believe it's a full time job.  The boss has no complaints because he's "getting all his work done" and there are no problems with his work.  But unless someone sees him goofing off half the time or someone else comes in to do the job who finishes in half the time AND tells management that they need more work, no one will know that the guy's job could be done in 20 hours per week.

That's what has happened in our department.  We had a few old-timers who's job functions really didn't take 40 hours/week.  But they would talk and act like it was a full time job.  When they left/retired, management realized what they were doing but until then, they were totally scamming the system.[/quote]

hahahaha you are so clueless 
old timers, eh? I am sure young workers constantly ask for more work and in fact demand to be for so that company can be more efficient 
funny how all you productive workers and managers were so busy you couldn't figure out old timers' workload before they left [/quote]
