[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The writing was on the wall when the Fed invested in new leases and expensive building renovations. Other agencies are reducing their footprint, while the Fed is expanding its footprint.[/quote]

Good point. But that project started long before COVID and with money already budgeted. If anything, desire for hybrid work might induce the Board to finally offer daycare at the new Constitution Ave bldg. That will bring parents back to the office 5 days/week. [/quote]

There was a time when parents would have been ecstatic for the Fed to provide daycare. Now, those same parents would prefer to WFH in their jammies with the video off on conference calls and their kids screaming or crying in the background. Better yet, they might ask you to reschedule your call for a time that works better with their kid’s nap time. [/quote]

They still want it, desperately. Right now parents get 5 months off in the baby’s first year (8 weeks sick leave/STD + 12 weeks paid leave). Vast majority of people I know at the Board are hard working and want to do a good job. They don’t want to try to WFH and have a screaming infant. They would prefer high quality childcare located at their job. I can’t do my job properly with an infant in the house; I tried during 2020 lockdowns and it was miserable.

The Board would be smart to put in a daycare into the new facility. It won’t be free, but if you make it convenient to parking + the office the parents will be in 5 days/week. I know I would have if that option was available to me when I had my young kids while working for the Board.[/quote]

There is no convenient parking anywhere around the FRB.[/quote]
