[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread is eye-opening. I had no idea that at so many other agencies, it was frowned upon for GS-15s to telework. I am a GS-15, and telework one day a week and my boss (SES) wouldn't care if I did so more often. Same goes for the other GS-15  attorneys who work in my office.

Plus, I've got a friend at another agency (she and I were colleagues at BigLaw before we defected to the feds) and she is a GS-15, too, and also teleworks at least one day a week. I also have another GS-15 friend at another agency who moved away to a different town, but her agency decided to let her work from home almost full-time.

Had no idea it was so tough to telework for so many GS-15 attorneys! Good to know. I'll thank my boss again next time I see him.[/quote]

I also fall into this category. As do many other attorneys at my agency.  The trick is finding an agency that doesn't believe that GS-15 positions should be reserved for supervisors - which are agencies that have a lot of attorneys. I actually make the same amount as my boss.[/quote]

That's not really an agency call, it's OPM classification guideline that (should) control...  Some agencies have more work with level of complexity and nature of contacts ( higher level v staff to staff) and those agencies have an easier time getting staff 15s.

An agency where attorneys do more routine work with few high level contacts has a harder time justifying staff GS15s.[/quote]
