[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it’s because one hand doesn’t know what the other is doing. DOGE and the anti-fed Types came in and did all their damage but meanwhile at certain agencies they were still trying to get certain work done and, oops, they need people to do it. My former office which I won’t name hasn’t rolled back telework but I understand most people aren’t really complying fully but they can’t afford to lose more people so the politicals aren’t even touching it. They are trying to hire and having little success. [/quote] It’s this. Our agency is important in carrying out work that the administration wants to do. But RTO got rid of a lot of people. Our lower level employees were already burnt out by the work and having 1-2 WFH days a week was the only real perk, and now even that is gone. The effects vary by geographic location. Offices in the DC area continue to hold onto people because the employment market is so grim and few alternatives exist unless you move to another city. In other places, where the salary already didn’t come close to the actual COL and other jobs are available, those offices are struggling and aren’t staffed nearly enough. And RTO are filling up offices that really need to be used for public facing activities (that the administration wants us to do) and constraining progress. I have heard of some people finally getting reasonable accommodations to telework. Which is great because this time last year they wanted us in the office even in a full leg cast. [/quote]
