[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So the average employee where I am is mid-40s making $80k/year. Where's the waste, fraud, and abuse again? [/quote]

That’s a ton of money! Especially for people who mostly work from home. Eliminating tens of thousands of positions at $80K a pop is a huge savings. You Feds really are out of touch. That is a huge amount of money for the average American in flyover country. Just wow. [/quote]

Cool story, bro. Come back to us when your baby dies from an unsafe drug or your should-have-been-recalled car catches fire or you’re puking your guts out from an undisclosed E. coli outbreak. You really think people are being paid to do nothing? [/quote]

Yes, yes you’ve said this in other threads. Scare tactics seem to be your forte. I doubt you perform either of these functions. Some Feds will stay of course, but the vast majority do not perform these essential functions from their living rooms. [/quote]

NP.  I am in the private sector.  I was a fed at a regulatory agency for 8 years in the pre-laptop, "486 desktop" era.  Everything I did at my job in the office could have been done from home  with a computer and a phone. Even back then, we could take some work home to do when needed without having a laptop (particularly reading and editing).

I work in a white collar job for a manufacturing company now.  We were full work from home during the pandemic.  Here is a list of just some of the jobs that can be 100% done from home:

Product design
Most engineering done on computer
Market research/industry analysis
Project management of teams
IT
HR
Sales
Procurement/supplier relations
Customer relations
Quality analysis based on survey data
PR
Social media & websites
Advertising
Public policy 
Some kinds of R&D

We are currently 3 days per week RTO and 2 work from home.  Our management believes productivity is fostered by being in office.  Many disagree, but we understand that management decides.

For me, being in office is less productive now than in olden times when assigned desks were still possible.  And cube walls blocked visual distractions.

Much of the complaining about work from home seems to come from people who just don't believe wfh can be productive.  The pandemic gave an excellent natural experiment that proved it can work.  And some complaining comes from people who are just jealous that others might have it better.  With respect to feds, some people just hate government so much, they criticize any stats or benefits as "too much".  They only admit the legitimacy of the parts of government that directly benefit them or match their ideologies.  It's mean-spirited and narrow-minded.[/quote]
