[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP. Looks like this whole thread comes down to DC-based Fed staff wanting to take a DC-based salary and move to a lower COL area. And, when they do so, they want no requirement to return to the office - ever. All of that has been wrapped in notions of unionizing, caring for all employees, retaining employees, hiring the best employees, etc. However, all these issues have been rendered false flags by other posters. Hope the Chair keeps his policy. He’s doing the right thing for the institution. [/quote]

Bingo! Finally someone with some common sense. [/quote]

It’s kinda hilarious how people who probably style themselves as quantitatively sophisticated don’t get the fundamental principal here: WFH is a benefit workers want. Employers are going to have to bargain around that fact. You can’t pretend WFH is impossible or bad. We all just did it for two years, successfully. You might as well try to argue that Fed employees just need to suck up pay decreases because the demand for pay is a “false flag.” [/quote]

Re-read what you wrote: WFH is a benefit workers want. Stop there. Now, review all your other arguments. They are false. They are mentioned as conceptual support, but there is no data to back them up and there are strong conceptual counter arguments. They are - as you said - emotional. The reality is, you like WFH and you want to keep it. You’re mad that your employer - who otherwise treats you handsomely - wants to take it away. [/quote]
