[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP. Looks like this whole thread comes down to DC-based Fed staff wanting to take a DC-based salary and move to a lower COL area. And, when they do so, they want no requirement to return to the office - ever. All of that has been wrapped in notions of unionizing, caring for all employees, retaining employees, hiring the best employees, etc. However, all these issues have been rendered false flags by other posters. Hope the Chair keeps his policy. He’s doing the right thing for the institution. [/quote]

So they’re not allowed to want that? Ok[/quote]

Sure, they’re allowed to want it, but the Chair would be a fool to grant it. This entire argument rests on what SOME employees WANT for themselves. Despite all the arguments, none of them are good institutional arguments. The Fed already has a differentiated pay and benefits package relative to industry. The Board does not need to, and never has, employed all the System’s best experts. The Fed needs to innovate and keep staff engaged, which is best done with some in-person work. The Fed’s telework policy will remain competitive with most other employers. [b]The Fed should not overpay people by letting them take a DC salary to a LCOL area. [/b]The list goes on. [/quote]

Every post of yours references people leaving DC for a LCOL area with their Board salary.  Are you jealous or something?  It seems strange to focus so much on this.  It’s the main reason you give for why the Board shouldn’t allow more telework.

Jealous? No. Try ethics. It’s not fair to those in DC. You should ask yourself why you are so keen on the idea. Because it’s a windfall that keeps giving every year. Are you greedy? Lack of geo pay is not a reason to deny telework, but remote work. [/quote]

It’s perfectly possible for the Fed to design locality pay for different geographic areas. A union would really help in doing this in a fair way. [/quote]
