[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is why people used to live close in. Now they want to live way outside the beltway and also keep a downtown job. It’s a choice.[/quote]

I live close in. My assigned office for the fully remote job I was hired into is way out. But please, keep talking. [/quote]

[b]NP.  It was not realistic think a fully remote job was a forever thing.  [/b]Sorry, it stinks having the change up.  
What did we do before??  I paid for before care, after care, an after school nanny once kid aged out of regular aftercare.   Brought my kid to the office on snow days where school was closed and work was not (or took an annual leave day those times, saved leave just for those occasions).

For real, why was this not realistic? I am not a Fed and work from where and when I want (though travel a ton). But I don't understand why in the age of distributed teams, videoconferencing, and relatively cost-effective travel it's unrealistic to think jobs could be fully remote.[/quote]

Plenty of jobs are remote, It is just not realistic to expect any single job to be permanently remote. I’ve been remote most of the last 15 years, but every employer I’ve had has made it clear they can change that at any time.

If the only thing you like about your job is that it is/was remote, I think you should find something you like more![/quote]

Your argument is akin to it’s not realistic to expect any job to permanently exist.  No shit.  Explain why it makes sense to arbitrarily decide that a job that has been done well remotely should suddenly no longer be remote.  [/quote]

Priorities change. I mean, people also get laid off who were doing fine, solely because their role is no longer needed. Arbitrary things happen. On an individual level it does not work to ask it to “make sense” because it just is what it is.[/quote]

You’re not good at this.  Your deflections are obvious.  The fact that you literally CANNOT explain the assertion you made upthread is also obvious.  (You also don’t understand what “arbitrary” means.)

And no, this is not simply a matter of “it is what it is.”  Decisions, arbitrary or otherwise, are being *actively made* to do these things.  Mandatory RTO and rigid work schedules are not just some naturally occurring phenomena.  “It is what it is” is meant for situations such as a volcano eruption in Iceland causing planes to be grounded causing you to miss your big meeting in Europe.

I am getting so irritated with the absolutely CONFIDENT stupidity of people like you.  Your understanding of our society and our government wouldn’t enable you to pass a middle school level civics test.  I’m embarrassed for you.[/quote]

And many of us are so tired of your bottomless whining and toddler complaining that “It’s stooooopid and you’re stupid and so unfair and I HATE VEGETABLES!!!”

This is actually happening.  Now. The baby is sliding out of the birth canal and you can’t shove it back up there.

Stop stomping your feet like a child. Quit your job, or don’t, but you need to cope and stfu already [/quote]

I don’t need to do any of this. I will not be (and have not been) sending bullet points.  I will not alter the work schedule I have followed for decades.  I will certainly not be providing sick notes.  I’m an adult.  I am an excellent employee and an excellent citizen.  These Russian assets and general self-serving idiots to whom you are SO eager to just bow down can go ahead and fire me if they choose - I can’t stop them, but I don’t have to help them or comply with this idiocy.

You are the type of person that Democracy is wasted on.  You have absolutely no appreciation for what you have, and therefore you feel no responsibility to preserve it for those who come after you.  You’re a sniveling, pathetic coward - the type who would have immediately and eagerly turned over their Jewish neighbors to the Nazis with, I suppose, an admonition to them to “stop whining” and a justification for yourself that “it is what it is.”[/quote]

Wrongly. I (PP) am a DoD civilian currently and lifelong Dem. I emphatically do not support this president. I am not doing their bidding by posting that grown ass men and women should stop whining. File a lawsuit, protest outside of your agency, lead your union, go the private sector … great! Take action. Act. Lead.

Sniveling endlessly on the internet about commuting is embarrassing AF.

[/quote]

You really need to understand this is only very minimally about commuting.[/quote]

We do. We’re on your side. That’s why we’re saying, stop whining about commutes and being in the office during work hours. It takes the focus off the real issues. I think you’ve finally arrived there.[/quote]
