[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nope. I’m the PP. my colleague’s kid should have been in preschool but wasn’t. It wasn’t letting a 7 year old watch tv for an hour or two after stepping out for 10 minutes to pick them up at the bus. We were told telework was a privilege and that we might have to come in some times. I had two kids in preschool and was spending close $55k at the time so I wasn’t very sympathetic when this colleague pushed back and would t make herself available. For those scrambling now, even less so. Congrats. You saved big and had flexibility for many years but didn’t plan for this even though it’s been obvious for months that the writing was on the wall. Sorry not sorry. [/quote]

You're sorry, alright.

And I'll say it again, since you dense types don't seem to get it. YOU DON"T KNOW THEIR SCHEDULE. I was 5 days remote and had a flex schedule so I could step out and do things and make up the time in the evening. What is it your business if my position allows for that?

Also, some people were hired as telework or remote (that is, that is how the job was announced and what was a condition of their employment). While we all sort of expected SOME arbitrary RTO order from the Felon In Chief, a full 5 day RTO was not. Especially for agencies with long history of effective TW. This is punitive and arbitrary and will actually COST money. But, hey, you get to feel smug that you stuck to someone who you know nothing about. That makes you a POS but it doesn't make you right.[/quote]
