[quote=Anonymous]So stupid and short sighted. My office is fully remote. It's very much individual work more so than collaborative. There is ZERO need to go into an office to do it. Performance figures for each person are tracked regularly. If you have a problem meeting the performance figures then the telework agreement will be cancelled. There is a small office for those who either prefer to work in person or are required to, but it would not fit everybody in the office full time. For those maintaining the telework agreement, managers don't tend to care when the work is done as long as it is done. This arrangement actually benefits the office long term because I am able to work around other brief commitments like kids events at school or doctor appointments without taking a half or full day of leave. Sometimes I work as early as 5 am and as late as midnight to ensure it gets done to save my personal leave. I havent taken sick leave in almost a year. Last summer I even felt well enough to work through COVID. Sometimes our office gets a backlog for various reasons and it's also easier to just walk into my home office and put in a couple (paid) extra hours (when authorized by management to manage the backlog) that would have otherwise been spent on a commute. I hope whoever makes these decisions at our agency thinks about this sort of stuff before ordering some blanket RTO order. [/quote]
