[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a little dubious about the existence of a "movement" that's primarily on Reddit. Either way, I don't really have an opinion on if other people work. I suspect most of them will return to work if pay and conditions are good and it's up to employers to convince them to come back.

If you read the subreddit there’s a large number of horrifyingly bad managers out there.  Treat people like crap, and you end up with an anti work movement.

I mean, look at what happened with the recent tornado in Kentucky.  They threatened to fire people who didn’t want to come in during life-threatening storms.  These people were making candles, for Pete’s sake.  They died for candles.    [/quote]

Government is rife with bad managers.  Just look at telework:  who promoted telework?

-Clinton for 8 years;
-Bush for the next 8; 
-Obama pushed telework for all 8 years - especially in the DC area.

So:  WHY was telework for 4 out of 5 days a week so incredibly rare, pre-Covid?

BAD GOVERNMENT MANAGERS.

Look, I personally know of a component in the Civil Division, which was ordered (repeatedly) to implement telework.

Their response?  They implemented a “study program.”  Among their hundreds of attorneys, they allowed TWO (2) to telework, and decided to “study” the problem for over 5 years.  The managers were so intent on micro-managing, and opposing telework, they were willing to defy the Attorney General and numerous administrations to resist telework.

That fit leaf is now gone.  If they do not allow more flexibility in telework, government managers will face a mass exodus of talent.[/quote]
