[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

I'm tired of Democrats getting blamed because Republicans are cruel.  Republicans have been attacking feds.for decades, Biden isn't responsible for this.[/quote]

Agree. Plus it isn’t like other sectors aren’t teleworking.  I know tons of remote and telework people who work with private companies. [/quote]

Agree. I will be the only one going in full time. Most of my private sector neighbors cant fathom my current 3 times a week in the office.[/quote]

Seriously. I am the only person on my street who goes to an office of any kind. Even my Trump supporting neighbor works remotely. [/quote]

Here’s the thing - this isn’t most of the US.  Even where I live in the DMV most of my street is blue collar, or in medical, law enforcement, etc. jobs.  They’ve been in-person the entire time and spare absolutely zero tears for feds complaining about having to do what they’ve been doing all along.

And yes you can say, “but I’m more productive at home!”  Or “my job doesn’t require me to be in the office” but people outside of your bubble don’t care.  And they spoke with their vote.

Now they may change their mind when their commutes are miserable with that many more cars on the road, sometimes the dog chases the car and then doesn’t know what to do with it.  But next time let’s ensure the Dems have a viable candidate.  [/quote]

You are crazy to think that federal remote work was the motivating issue in the last election. [/quote]

Definitely not, but everyone on my street - nurses, professors, attorneys, business executives, etc. have been back in the office a minimum of 3 days/week for years, and it hasn’t gone unnoticed that my Fed neighbors walk their dogs, pick up and drop off their kids, cut their lawn, etc., regularly, during the work day.  Additionally, many of them “work” remotely from vacation destinations for multiple weeks of the year.  I know of no other large group of workers - blue collar or professional that are able to abuse the system in that way. [/quote]

You know of no other professional that does that? I do. I know a lawyer that works from the beach. You’re making up nonsense. And the Feds I work with, scientists, don’t do what you’re asserting. Get a life. [/quote]
PP lives in Busytown where there’s a nurse, a teacher, a truck driver, and a fireman all on the same street. He’s good friends with all of them, and they all chat about their exact schedules and their feelings on federal employees! None of them work from home. He’d respond to you himself, but he just hopped in the apple car to take Huckle Cat to school.[/quote]

Huckle Cat!  PP thank you so much for the needed laugh - a ray of sunshine in an otherwise dreary day!
