[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The situation (at my agency) is that around 30% of the people are ELIGIBLE to RETIRE and are only sticking around because they like the work and their colleagues.

If even a hint of shenanigans occurs, they will just walk out the door.  And if that happens, the shit. will.  hit.  the.  fan.  because a lot of these people were in the agency for decades and have a tremendous amount of institutional knowledge that they will take with them.  That's how I am reading it.[/quote]

What if they left and no one missed them. Could you cut 70% of the bureaucrats and policy makers and no one would miss them? Don't we have enough paper now to last into the next ice age?[/quote]

I suspect PP also complains that the wait time is too long when he calls a fed agency. [/quote]
Well, maybe they should make Feds come INTO work! The people in my neighborhood with three and four day "work-from-home" days laugh about it, while they laze by the pool, go to the movies, pick up the groceries, and catch up with household chores. I'm not saying everyone abuses it, but enough do to significantly reduce the number of these scam days.[/quote]

If they do that, you should report them.

In my agency, our work is very quantifiable so you can't slack off even at home. [/quote]
Then I'd say that unless the work-from-home days can be quantified, forget it. There's this one guy who only goes into work ONE day a week, and he was complaining about it. Said he has "a lot of things to do around the house" and having to go downtown every Wednesday takes up an entire day. And this is a guy earning well over $100k.[/quote]

Report him. If you feel so strongly about it, you should act. [/quote]
