[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone else find this article really problematic?

[b]How can the author completely ignore that complete RTO was the first tool that DOGE used to try to drive people out with the Fork, VERAs, dissolving unions and CBAs, etc?[/b] So obviously yes telework is something people care about and that can be used as a weapon.[/quote]

This. Also, [b]fed workers had no choice, but I can't believe how quickly the private sector just caved to RTO. [/b] Even the comments on the article act like no TW is just fine. WTF?? Why are we regressing??[/quote]

I am curious why you think fed workers have no choice, but private sector workers have choices?

Private sector workers can be fired if they don’t RTO. Federal workers can quit if they don’t want to RTO. Everyone is free to quit and everyone can be fired if they don’t follow employer’s requirement.[/quote]

DP. Fed workers are bearing the brunt of a politicized attack on the civil service. The RTO had nothing to do with what Fed offices actually needed. Private sector RTO generally corresponds to legitimate office needs or office cultures and retains flexibility. My private sector friends are shocked to hear that we are 100% RTO with no flexibility to an absurd extent - like not even to work from home with a sleeping, sick kid. [/quote]
