[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wouldn’t the solution be to make federal workers come back into the office?[/quote]

Federal agencies have been moving to the suburbs for years (because GSA is so cheap). The suburb people are all back in the office, but the DC people don't want to. Can't imagine why. [/quote]

True. My GSA office is absolutely horrible. For political reasons we have to continue with GSA instead of leasing. My former agency’s leased office space was fantastic in terms of location and amenities. [/quote]

When I was in a GSA owned building, it was the worst. I had coworkers out with mold in their lungs, active leaks, non potable water in the building (yeah- I want to metro to work carrying all the water I'll drink all day!), insects and rats. A tourist threw a rock through my window and GSA fought with us for almost a year before someone finally fixed my window.

I moved out to a leased building in the suburbs and it's like night and day. I even get trash pickup in my office! Imagine that. [/quote]

Right??? My leased building had nightly cleaning, coffee service, a reasonably priced cafeteria with surprisingly good food … and it wasn’t even in the burbs. [/quote]
