[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Serious question for the wfh people- Aren't you worried that your companies will realize they can make even bigger profits by sending your jobs to other countries. If you can do the work remotely then why not hire people in Romania, Nigeria or Mexico? They have educated populations and have lower costs of living.[/quote]

Do you consider a hybrid work schedule WFH?

I'm a government employee (not a fed or in VA). I've had several different positions over 15 plus years. During those 15 years, I've regularly done the job of two or more people and accumulated more than 100 hours of comp. time per year that I can't use. I've also canceled family commitments and vacations from time to time to address pressing demands. I've done all of this because I believe in the work I do, the benefits are great, and on balance, the hours are manageable.

On the other hand, the salary is low, and raises are minimal. We are finding it increasingly difficult to fill open positions at all levels. I hope that the availability of hybrid work schedules will encourage more skilled professionals to consider government work. But I agree with others that managing lower-level remote workers is more difficult than having them in the office.[/quote]
