[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Unless you worked at a company that outright banned telework and required you be on site 42.5 hours per week, monitored by badging out with time cards that are a felony to misrepresent on, I don’t want to hear how you managed pre covid. Jesus christ, people. Your quite cushy lives in 2019 are not comparable in this situation. Not at all. [/quote]

Every defense contractor requires badging in and out.  Nothing was cushy and nothing is new or harder for you.  Timecards are as old as time.  Get over your stupid self. [/quote]

This! My work checked all of those boxes pre, during and post Covid. And speaking of cushy, a friend who works for the FDA and is worried about losing her job/bemoaning RTO in March told me last night at our kids' basketball practice (that I practically killed myself to get home in time to get to) that today is her Friday since she "works" remote tomorrow.[/quote]

This doesn’t even make sense?! What does her “Friday” even mean. Why are you upset she has managed to find a job that allows her work/life balance. [/quote]

Because as a taxpayer, I (NP) shouldn’t pay for her individual luxury of “balance.”  I and apparently millions of others would prefer to pay her a part-time salary and no federal benefits — because she is in fact working part time.

Whether she wants to be all-in and miss games or lean out and watch basketball doesn’t matter to me. Her fraudulence is the problem. [/quote]
How about showing some evidence that this is a widespread problem. Anecdotes do not count.[/quote]

Shockingly, the timecard fraud federal workers didn’t raise their hands to identify themselves as they were stealing from the government. Wonder why? As a result, there isn’t the robust data collection you insist on to believe timecard fraud actually occurred.

For me, it’s enough anecdotal evidence that every. single. remote/telework. fed I know has been working part time and pulling a full time salary+benefits. For years.  I feel super comfortable extrapolating from every federal tele/remote worker I know to the general population.

their employers are: FDA, NIH, DOT, EPA and Labor.

I respect their scope of work and the mission. I do not hate feds, at all (i am one). The fraud needs to stop.
