[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Managers at the SEC must be really pissed tonight. [/quote]

SEC manager here. Mainly just delighted for my staff attorneys that they are likely ok until '26; we very likely would have lost at least two high-performers in my branch more or less immediately if this went the other way. [/quote]
 
Troll post? It goes against human nature to be cool with the idea of waking up and commuting to an empty building so that your subordinates can chill at home. Nice try. [/quote]

Not a troll post at all. This is going to be a huge challenge for me and my family and I will absolutely have to manage my resentment over the needless commuting time & etc. But I won't spend a moment resenting colleagues who benefit from CBA protections, and I honestly don't think this will create a manager/non-manager rift (at least within my Division and certainly not in my Office). As I said in the original post, my main reaction was relief that valued colleagues won't have to face this challenge just yet. [/quote]

Love this post and 100% agree - this is good leadership. We don’t have a specific mandate yet but I will gladly take a bullet for my team to avoid BU professionals being displaced who live far from a building, and were hired for remote positions [/quote]

How about the localish ones who were hired for in office but applied for and got local remote, but still get the full local pay? I'm talking about people who live in Fredericksburg or Frederick, though some much closer? This accounts for a lot of people in my agency. We have enough space for the local teleworkers to go in full time, but not enough if you add in the local remotes. Fairness would dictate we all go in three days a week instead of some five and some zero.[/quote]

PP - I have mixed feelings on that, and also have employees in that circumstance. I think what you proposed in your last sentence (even 2 days a week in office) is a reasonable compromise. Sadly reason will not factor into implementation plans.[/quote]
