[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Elon Musk cannot single handedly do anything, and certainly not increase workdays by two hours, nor fire people who refuse to RTO, or eliminate entire federal agencies whose unions will fight this in court.

Can Trump sign an executive order limiting telework/remote work? Yes, but even that will have to be implemented within certain parameters, will be fought in court etc. [b]no one is going to the office full time for ten hours on Jan 21.[/b] Get a grip.[/quote]

Hopefully by the end of the term this will be a reality though.  [/quote]
Why would you be hopeful about this?[/quote]

Because they hate feds.

I'm a lawyer, they don't pay me enough to work those hours, I would just quit and go to a firm for those hours.

But here's the deal: you don't want people like me to quit.  Those of us who have options are also the people who get stuff done efficiently.[/quote]

THIS. That last sentence is so true.[/quote]

If you are a fed lawyer who only works 40 hours a week, your options in private practice likely aren't as plentiful as you think they are.

It's amazing how every single government lawyer is convinced that they can leave the government and find a higher paying job in the private sector - they are very much in demand, you see and only in the government because of the mission/benefits/family friendly schedule/hours/WTH/etc.  And sure, some of you will be rock stars.  But more of you will crash and burn, if you can get a job at all.  [/quote]

The majority of lawyers in federal government started their careers in private practice, because very few agencies hire right out of law school. It's not like we're unfamiliar with law firms. [/quote]

100% this. The lawyers at my agency are so hardworking, and almost all of them came from big law (with massive pay cuts as a trade off).

If DOGE makes it miserable for them to work, the younger ones have already voiced they’re going to go back to private, and the older ones only plan to stay as long as they can to retire. [/quote]

But there will be less legal work available with business friendly Trump and a shrunken govt[/quote]
