[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Unless you worked at a company that outright banned telework and required you be on site 42.5 hours per week, monitored by badging out with time cards that are a felony to misrepresent on, I don’t want to hear how you managed pre covid. Jesus christ, people. Your quite cushy lives in 2019 are not comparable in this situation. Not at all. [/quote]

Every defense contractor requires badging in and out.  Nothing was cushy and nothing is new or harder for you.  Timecards are as old as time.  Get over your stupid self. [/quote]

This! My work checked all of those boxes pre, during and post Covid. And speaking of cushy, a friend who works for the FDA and is worried about losing her job/bemoaning RTO in March told me last night at our kids' basketball practice (that I practically killed myself to get home in time to get to) that today is her Friday since she "works" remote tomorrow.[/quote]

This doesn’t even make sense?! What does her “Friday” even mean. Why are you upset she has managed to find a job that allows her work/life balance. [/quote]

Because as a taxpayer, I (NP) shouldn’t pay for her individual luxury of “balance.”  I and apparently millions of others would prefer to pay her a part-time salary and no federal benefits — because she is in fact working part time.

Whether she wants to be all-in and miss games or lean out and watch basketball doesn’t matter to me. Her fraudulence is the problem. [/quote]
How about showing some evidence that this is a widespread problem. Anecdotes do not count.[/quote]

Shockingly, the timecard fraud federal workers didn’t raise their hands to identify themselves as they were stealing from the government. Wonder why? As a result, there isn’t the robust data collection you insist on to believe timecard fraud actually occurred.

For me, it’s enough anecdotal evidence that every. single. remote/telework. fed I know has been working part time and pulling a full time salary+benefits. For years.  I feel super comfortable extrapolating from every federal tele/remote worker I know to the general population.

their employers are: FDA, NIH, DOT, EPA and Labor.

I respect their scope of work and the mission. I do not hate feds, at all (i am one). The fraud needs to stop.

Somehow all these different people that you resent so deeply are close enough with you to just admit to timecard fraud?

How do you know they are working part time? Janet going to the soccer game can make up her hours in the morning or evening. How do you know she’s not? Are you in her house watching?[/quote]

PP. Some do admit it, because we've discussed it, yes. Of course they don't use the words 'timecard fraud.' They use euphemisms like 'balance' 'flexibility' and 'autonomy'.

Another one, I just know her schedule really, really well. Because we live 5 ft away from each other without shades. So I''m practically "in her house" whether I like it or not. The reverse is also true, because I don't want to buy shades.

You are an absolute creep. Get a life[/quote]

Wear a blindfold in my own house you mean? Mmmm, no.  Pass. [/quote]
