What is the agenda behind RTO? [/quote]People were not being honest with their hours.  Where have you been?[/quote]
Where is the proof that people weren’t being honest? If it’s such a widespread problem to the point the entire government has to be prevented from teleworking, there must be a ton of concrete evidence they can present to justify the policy. Why haven’t they?[/quote]

Why are only govt employees called back 5 days a week? Why are private companies employees still hybrid 2-3 days in office or 100% remote. It’s not fair. [/quote]

Many are back five days a week. [/quote]
Many are not. Why are those companies able to operate just fine with hybrid schedules?[/quote]

Because those companies have made a decision to trust their employees... and the employees do not abuse that trust.[/quote]

Why are people so jealous of federal and Fannie Freddie employees? 
Are the Twins Fannie and Freddie most profitable companies per employee as the employees abused the remote work?

I feel only the DC, Nova and MD area companies both govt and private have called back 5 days a week. 
Many companies in south, mid west, west coast and north east have not called 5 days. Most people go to office is only 3 days and there is a hugh difference in quality of life if you are required to be in office 5 va 3 days a week. The new administration is disappointing people who are in and around DC.

No. DC was probably the last area to not be mostly remote. Really, this discussion is so old. If you can’t stand going in try to find a remote or hybrid job that is better. [/quote]

There was no real business or productivity-related reason for the RTO and you know it.  Stop defending what is simply a ploy to piss off federal workers.  [/quote]

Not PP but they were responding to the ridiculous claim that the DMV is the only place with full 5 days a week in person.  Which is a blatant lie- NY has been back 5 days a week for a while.  DC was the last place to do it.[/quote]

NY is not “5 days.” I have friends in big law there and it’s more like 3 days, with no questions asked if you need more for a sick kid etc. [/quote]

+100000.  3 days is pretty typical as it just general flexibility.

I’m a government worker who has to go into the office every day while my private sector spouse has a 2-3 day a week requirement. [/quote]

I spent a few days this week with a private sector finance guy who was 'working' which meant taking a call or two while we enjoyed the neighborhood park with his kids.  They were visiting us from out of town..  He chuckled about how feds are told every one else works in the office.[/quote]

Most finance people in NY are in the office 5 days or a minimum of 4. My husband and all of his colleagues can attest to this. There are some special people here and there who kicked and screamed for carve outs during COVID and no one wants to fight with them, but by and large everyone is going in. In tech it really accelerated in 2024. If you just started RTO a few months ago consider that when someone was commuting in 2022,2023, and 2024 you were not. To complain you have it worse than everyone else after having three years of not going in when most people were going in for three years before you did is a little tone deaf. [/quote]

It's a finance bro thing where the whole point is to see who can kill themselves the most.[/quote]
