[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nope. I’m a Fed.[b] Laptop now must stay in the office and we can be terminated for working after 6[/b]. Folks have been fired for logging out at 6:03 or 5:57 and putting 6.   Extended flex band gone.  In the before times, I was working credit 6-8pm about half the time. Now not allowed. Annoying because with people out of the office and off Teams, it was my most productive time of the day. Having to commute obviously makes working after 6 impractical, even if it were allowed.

But if Elmo demands that I work less, so be it.  Our offices productivity (which has been closely monitored for years) has tanked. We will almost certainly miss goal— by 1000+ plus cases. First time in at least a decade we haven’t crushed our FY goal by August.  So much burn out and apathy. Having to take a full day for a dentist appointment also doesn’t help.

All the disruption is and chaos is a productivity drain. Our most experienced folks were able to VERA. And 12 people around a conference table without second monitors isn’t productive x especially since we are constantly on the phone or Teams meetings.

Too bad, so sad. This is what Trump voters wanted. (Our workloads are heavily focused on red states’).  My salary stays the same, even if my productivity goes down. [/quote]

This isn't every Fed office.  My dh had 10/12 of his staff leave in the two Forks (there's a rumor that his office will be shut down in the RIF which hasn't happened yet, so everyone bolted). He's now on his work laptop at the dining room table from when he gets home until when he goes to bed trying to keep things moving in his office.  His office oversees/authorizes contracts for ongoing projects so if the work doesn't get done, the whole system breaks down-- contractors don't work, services stop, etc.  I *wish* they prohibited him from bringing home the laptop or working past 6.[/quote]

I agree with the pp- your spouse should not be doing this. We were told we can be fired for working from home, even after hours.[/quote]
