[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

You are talking about most of the workforce.  Only a small minority of idiots ask for more work.  Most of these fools are in DC because of the Type A thing.  Doesnt bother me I'll keep costing while yall pick up the slack thinking you are so important lolz[/quote]

Count me in as one of those idiots. I hate watching the clock. I ask for more work, and they won't provide it. They won't let me go part time, either, because they want me available to them. So on days in the office I often make extra money doing outside work, and on telework days, you might find me at Costco. No one cares because I get everything done in half the allotted time.

Excuse me while I sign back onto my work computer to finish up...I left early to take my kids outside today. I enjoyed life for an hour. Why this would bother anyone is beyond me. [/quote]
