[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Per that NYT article on DOGE, Joni Ernst who is working with them is thinking that to save money the government should just allow WFH and to end the government leases.  This actually sounds like something that would save the government money while retaining efficiency.[/quote]

It would save a ton of money. I assume you'd lose locality pay, and if so a lot of us might quit because we are locked into the DC area. But a lot more of us might either live with the cut or move somewhere cheaper.

You'd still have certain jobs that require in-person presence, so some building expenses would persist.  The trickier part would be what to do with people who must be in person but only sometimes (like to go to the Hill) - do you pay for their travel, or do you require them to be within x miles and pay locality?[/quote]

I don't really know how locality pay works for full-remote people.  Is it based on the location of their home?  [/quote]

As a fully remote worker - I can confirm I am paid based on my home address.  So I don't get DC locality. The irony is if they make me move to DC they will be paying me more....
