[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m really annoyed. If people had just gone in 3 days a week like they wanted us to, I think they wouldn’t have gone to such extremes. [/quote]

I feel the same. [/quote]

Yes. I blame Biden. He didn’t come down hard enough. Heck even his own EOP offices were TW more than we were. He let agencies get away with hardly complying with RTO and well here we are. [/quote]

Yeah, if Biden had ordered us back five days per week then Trump wouldn’t have been able to do anything. Good thinking PP. [/quote]

No-had he held agency heads more accountable with enforcing RTO, he wouldn’t have invited the scrutiny that then unfolded in Congress when his cabinet members would testify and could  not articulate percentages of staff back in the office and we were slow walking RTO. Returning agencies to 2019 levels maybe would have staved off the scrutiny that then resulted in ridiculous reports like the House oversight report about 6% in person. He let this unravel to the point where Congress got fed up with the non-answers, got into trump’s ear and now this. [/quote]

The purpose of this memo is to reduce the workforce, not a RTO. If Feds were at the office at 2019 levels, Republicans would latch onto something else to punish Feds. This is not Biden’s fault. [/quote]

I think it's fair to say that he emboldened the Unions, who were pushing for permanent, 1 day in per week at some agencies. He's the only president we ever had who literally went and matched with picketing union members. He picked winners and losers based on union support (for example, he excluded Tesla from the EV EO on the grounds that it had no union).   It makes complete sense to me why they felt they had more power. Even now, Feds are asking with a serious face whether the unions can "trump Trump." [/quote]
