[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nope. I’m a Fed. Laptop now must stay in the office and we can be terminated for working after 6. 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]

Why would you need to take a day off for Dentist. I pick Dentists with Saturday hours or early or late hours. My Dentist who was located by the train station commuters took had one early day a week, one late day a week and open 1/2 day on Saturday. I pick 7am appointments, 7 pm appointments, or Sat appointments. The Pediatrician and OBGYN nears my house was open all day Saturday. Most Moms work. They were close Sunday and one day during week.

My current doctor and Dentist in MoCo both open at 7am. I work in NOVA. I go before work.

If sick yes I call out sick. But a physical or Dental appointment just pick a place with hours that suit your needs  [/quote]

Because my commute is 1.5 to 2 hours each way (was 1/2 hour before COVID, but we went fill telework and gave the buildings up, so that’s what we got instead). And chose my dentist during full telework— guaranteed under my union agreement until 2029.

Plus, I have a ton of sick leave. Why not burn it rather than racing in for 3-4 hours. That’s more time commuting than working. Pass. Normally, I would have worked a full day at home, with the extended flex band. I’m not doing more commute time than working time because all I is a control freak. He wants only in office. Fine. I schedule dentist appointments such that I can just take the day.

Our efficiency is f-%ked anyway with RTO. [/quote]

So pick a doctor near the office. I go for eye check ups and stuff by office. it is great. Also I miss traffic. You chose to give up your building so that is on you. My old company went to full remote and had building, but we had a significant amount of young people with roomates in small apartments who lived near office who did not want to work from home, married men with SAHM wives and Boomers who like to go to work. They voluntarily wanted to go to office. Everyone else stayed home 2020 to 2024. They are not going back and guess what their desk and office still there. Why the people who came in.

My other old company their staff almost no one wanted to come to office, they gave up lease and now struggling as rents have shot up and they gave up 80 percent of office space and they are crammed like sardines or commuting to far off locations.     [/quote]

Some of us pick our doctors because of their skills, not their location. [/quote]
