[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]

A) You don't pay my salary, which is fee-funded.
B) Your payment of any fed's salary is miniscule, at best.
C) you're paying for work. If the work is getting done, the "where" is not your business. And for many feds, and all feds at my former agency, getting the work done at home worked perfectly.

None of that is fraud. You're just a bitter old hag.[/quote]

I mean, I'm not the one who's bitter here. I have a fantastic close-in SFH and a 10 minute commute to my federal workplace. The nature of our work means we've been in-person all along.

It's the HR, IT and credentialing people at my agency who are bitter, because they've all been called back and will need to produce work now in a way that conforms with their PD. Their 90 minute drive and childcare stress isn't my concern. [/quote]

Yeah you are not bitter. You sound like a jerk who thrives on the misery of others.[/quote]
