[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just saw a news article about Republicans sponsoring Return to Office Act to force federal agencies to revert to pre-pandemic telework policies. I’ve been applying to federal jobs, but it definitely gave me pause. In my current position (not a fed), we have been super efficient and productive teleworking. It probably helps that we have a small staff, but it seems draconian to go back to 2019 telework policies.

Is this true??? I really don't want non-essential vehicles on the road ever again. It seems ridiculous to force people back into the office... People need to start saying no in great numbers. [/quote]
With the current congress, there's no way this would even get as far as Biden's desk.  It's just Republican posturing.  There was a similar noise in November, from a lot more Republicans than are behind this bill, that went nowhere.

But it is a good reminder that whatever telework expansion we do get could always be pulled back by an unfriendly congress and/or president.  [/quote]

We’ve been given so much flexibility. I agree it could be taken away in a few years.  [/quote]

Nah. They’ll be grandfathered in. Noone is getting fired because they went remote.

And Republicans are posturing. Covid changed everything about work. Like it or not

Exactly. This has been my warning to my employees that have gone remote. Don’t do it unless you’re prepared to quit and find a new job if policies change in the future.[/quote][/quote]
