[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And they can work virtually.

[quote]The draft documents and emails obtained by CBS News say that the contractors would be given FDA laptops and badges to do their work, which is described as intended "to address the duties that have been performed" by the laid-off staff.

However, the contracting documents also say that the tasks could be completed virtually, suggesting that they would not be subject to the same strict return-to-office requirements that have hamstrung FDA employees for weeks.[/quote]

I wonder if other agencies will follow suit.

Contractors are remote in other agencies also.  They save a bit on parking and not needing offices.  It's brilliant really.  Now if we can just get the feds to figure out how to operate the conference video cam.[/quote]

Dont be an idiot. FDA has been using telework for a while , even before the pandemic. Now suddenly Trump forced everybody back to the office even if there is not enough office space or parking and White Oaks is hard to reach with public transportation, just to create hardship. My DH now leaves right after 6am even though we are only few miles away so can be there by 6.20 and find parking and short lines to go into the building.

This all let’s fire government workers for savings is BS for the most stupids of Trump supporters. The intent was to destroy agencies that billionaire republican backers have been hating for a long time, terrorize all federal employees so they execute whatever they are ordered regardless if  legal or not, and enrich republican donors with privatizing as much as possible of the federal government. Thousands of people were laid off st FDA with the justification that their jobs were mot needed because already covered by others but now suddenly they need contractors to cover tjose jobs? So why the just laid off people are not called back? They know the job already dont need training and i am sure they would appreciate teleworking again st least a few days a week.

This is just evidence of what we said all along. The cuts snd saving campaign was BS, just cannibalize the government by privatize as much as possible and have a political iron control on anybody else. We will all pay more and have worse services. F$ck MAGA[/quote]
