[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I work in a non Fed job in DC (I'm here because my husband is a Fed so trying to figure out the lay of the land).  We've been desperately trying to get people back to the office for a year or two but our biggest obstacle has been the prevalence of Fed jobs that are remote.  No one applies for our non-remote job postings because so many all-remote or mostly-remote jobs are available.  So I suspect that even the organizations allowing remote work now might shift over the next year now that this labor competition is gone.  (Though many employers will probably continue to allow a day or two of remote work.)[/quote]

Why?  My spouse puts in much less time when he's in the office due to the commute.  He's also no longer willing to be flexible with early morning or late night calls.  You get 8 hours in the office, that's it.  Especially given the commute is 60-90 minutes each way.[/quote]

Thats because he has set work hours. In person no one is running out the door. I worked in person "at a real job" from 1998-2016. In those 18 years I was in rush hour zero times. We were in office work 11-12 hours a day. I missed rush hour both ways. Most jobs are not by the hour. You leave when work is done and your boss lets you.      [/quote]
