[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Didn't the Patent and Trademark Office greatly curtail or eliminate much of its telework several years ago? I'm pretty sure it did so. 
So, it's not a new trend. But I agree with the PP saying it hurts federal hiring. Fewer and fewer people who are qualified for these SSA or PTO jobs are going to want to apply if there is no option for telework. Reducing or taking away flexibility -- not the way to go if the agencies want to hire and keep people today. It's sad because these agencies perform vital work.[/quote]

Not true at all. The telework program still exist.[/quote]

I worked in the trademark side of the PTO. I did not stay long enough to qualify for telework (the job is boring as hell and rote and youa re doing the same thing over and over). But after training was over the first few months, all I did was sit in a room alone and process applications and there was NO reason I could not have done that from home. The PTO tracks production and every action you do has a point value attached to it and you have to achieve a certain number of points or you get a bad review and potentially lose your job, dont get your bonus, etc. There is no reason to make those attorneys come into the office. And the reason people stay in such a dull job is the telework. They are very marketable and many would leave if that was taken away,[/quote]
