[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do folks think this is the new trend for federal agencies? I hope they don’t abolish it. [/quote]

They should.  I know people who "telework" who go grocery shopping, take kids to medical appointments and one who went Christmas shopping.  It's a sham.  You have a job and it should be performed at your office![/quote]

[b]Our agency showed that teleworkers were more productive and had better quality on average.[/b]  Those that began teleworking had higher production than in when in the Office.  I telework.  If I go to a kid’s medical appointment I use my sick leave which is allowed which is the same as if I were in the Office.  If I use mid-day Flex to run an errand (also allowed), I make up the hours later in the day/week or weekends and if I can’t I use my leave.

All of my friends who are NOT Feds telework— in IT, software, lawyers, etc.  It is commonplace in 2019.  I think 95% of workers in my HHI neighborhood telework at least part of the week, many full-time.

How did they do that? Seriously curious. [/quote]

My SSA component tracks the number of cases we process at telework vs in office, and the number that are found to have quality issues performed in both places.  It’s not surprising you do more work with fewer errors when you aren’t in a cube with people talking and interrupting you. [/quote]
