[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Or they could release some of the leased office space (and maybe lease out some of the federally owned buildings) and save some money.  There is a federal office across the street from us that they spent about a decade renovating — it reopened years before the pandemic and I’ve never seen anyone going in or out or working there.  Maybe doge could look into that?

What’s the current system with full remote workers though?  If you are technically out of a dc office do you get dc locality pay?  I know at least some business that pay alll their fully remote workers on their midwestern salary scale.  [/quote]

It’s based on where you live if you’re remote. So they aren’t getting DC pay. But they may be getting at least some locality pay depending on their metro area. It could be a sizeable payout to get rest of US pay.

That said I was looking more at the bill and it looks like they want to move to more of a performance system where employees exceeding expectations get more pay and also those who meet or exceed will get extra benefits such as telework. So it seems like they’re trying to make it more of a carrot for good performers.

As someone with multiple years of making all 5s, I would love to make more $ and get extra perks. So I’m not opposed in theory. But I don’t really trust the intentions of the politicians trying to pass this legislation.

I wish we could have a bipartisan group who genuinely have the country’s best interest at heart and who respect the work that Feds do. Instead we have a bunch of idiots who are trying to burn it all down as some sort of media gimmick to get more attention. [/quote]
