[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We got rid of some office space during pandemic, remote employees have changed office location, although most remote employees are remote locally. Basically, some employees change teleworking status (before Covid) to remote status, with SF 50 duty station changed too.

There is no funding to get more office space (flat funding, majority of funding goes to employees' salary; while salary/other costs increase annually, there is not even enough money to fill every vacancy).[/quote]

Why people are so concerned about RTO?  [/quote]

The pandemic broke a lot of our societies systems.

Childcare is understaffed and schools have few resources for after school care. No one wants to work these jobs since they are still underpaid and other jobs pay even more now because of increased minimum wage.

Traffic is far far worse for many reasons One is that no one takes public transit because of a perception of increased crime and potential for infection and hygiene awareness, people are driving and not carpooling anymore for similar reasons, many people are distracted on their phone and thus distracting driving makes for slower driving and more accidents. Also, there are far more gig drivers and delivery drivers on the road, which is increased traffic volume by an order of magnitude.

Finally, so much of work has gone online with virtual meetings and shared digital workspace that we go to an office to meet with someone on teams who is in another building. It is so pointless. [/quote]

Really?  My public school district has great extended care options and I go to work every day in person and don't think traffic is any worse than it ever was.  Most days it's really not that bad.  I go pick up my kids and everything.  Just one person out here in reality.[/quote]
