[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Great that some of you get don’t ask don’t tell. My boss asks and forces annual leave. Same with snow days. And I can’t make up the hours on other days even though I’m technically on maxiflex. My boss told me to take it up with whoever wrote the rules. [/quote]

Whoever wrote the rules needs to understand the rules don’t apply anymore. This is not a typical situation. I’m sorry your boss sucks.[/quote]

Boss and I had a heated discussion the other day because I asked to work from 7-3:30 instead of 8-4:30 (I am on maxiflex, but I don't think that means anything to boss). She said she had a duty to tax payers to make sure I was at work at the times I said I'd be at work. I said I felt I had a duty to taxpayers to get my job done #1, while also working the correct hours. I think she just doesn't know how to evaluate work and thus fixates on our time. We're all JDs, PhDs or masters degrees and all are GS13/14s. Not sure why we're treated like toddlers. Actually, I give my toddlers more autonomy.

There are plenty of bosses in the federal government who will be forcing their employees to take annual leave or sick leave or come in. I'd rather employees telework while recovering instead of taking the change on them still being contagious. I want OPM to address this head on. [/quote]

Mine makes me come in sick, although I have 160 hours of sick leave. He wants a written note from the doctor specifying that 1) I have coronavirus and 2) I can do my job from home otherwise I'm expected in the office. First, my primary care doc doesn't have the test and he doesn't know what I do at work. It's absurd.  [/quote]
