[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread is 28 pages, and AFAICT not a single pro-RTO person has explained why it is better or necessary to have people commute to an office 5d/week where they will be on virtual calls at least half the time.

I don't know anyone who has no childcare and WFH. That's a strawman. But if you WFH, it's much easier to find and afford childcare since you don't have to account for commuting time.

This is the issue. FT RTO is being proposed solely to punish federal workers, for no other reason. And if you think that private sector employers won't see that they can also use this tactic with impunity (rather than layoffs with severance), you are an idiot.[/quote]

[/b]Lots of people have made arguments, you just disagree with them[b]. That’s fine, but don’t pretend the arguments done exist. I will try to briefly summarize, not to argue big just to clarify: Many federal employees wouldn’t spend half their day on Teams if everyone was in person. They would be interacting with their colleagues and there is arguably some benefit to in person interaction. Also, downtown DC would benefit from a returning federal employee customer base. Finally, there is some benefit to federal managers and leaders who often find it easier to manage in person.

Again, you don’t have to agree with any of these arguments. But don’t pretend that everyone who disagrees with you is entirely mean-spirited or everyone who doesn’t adopt your views an idiot.[/quote]

But RTO isn’t being proposed for any of these reasons. Our billionaire oligarchy is coming up with ways to gut the federal workforce so they can weaken and deregulate things for their own financial gain.

I get you may not care about feds going into an office, but I can’t believe anyone wouldn’t be concerned with these people (who we did not elect and who have no qualifications for running anything related to government) wanting to come in and disrupt things willy nilly to cause chaos.

And today it’s government employees, but what is to stop them from starting new tasks forces on a whim if it suits them?[/quote]
