[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So Trump has no idea that many of us were working from home long before Covid?  And there is no office space for us now??

I am not union either OP...and I think we are most at risk.  We will be back first and more.  I think there will be many unplanned messy retirements with no transition time.[/quote]

BS - There is plenty of office space for you.  You just don't want to go into your cube or less than lux office.  No one is forcing you to retire just because you are too lazy to work. Seems like you retired in place.

DP, but please catch up. The federal government significantly downsized its office footprint since 2020 (and was in the process of that even before COVID). Many of us have shared how we literally don’t have an office to go to, or are hotel-ing so we don’t have space to go 5 days per week. Also some people at my office have union contracts specifying their ADS must have a private office with door that closes because of the type of secure work they are doing. So they cannot just be stuck in a cube farm.

Also at large agencies you need a prospectus and then must solicit bids and then get Congressional approval to sign a new lease.

It’s clear so many of you on this thread have never worked for or with the government in any capacity, so no one really cares about the nonsense you’re pulling out of your @$$.[/quote]

The commercial real estate market is in the toilet.  I don't think it would be anywhere as hard as you described to quickly pick up office space in the DC core, and since the republicans control Congress, even getting Congressional approval wouldn't be much of a hindrance.[/quote]

The government doesn't just "pick up" real estate. But sure in a few years or so this could help the DC market.[/quote]
