[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was sort of excited to see colleagues but it was a ghost town and after the first couple of hours of getting everything in running order and saying hi to the two people around, it was really creepy and pointless.  It probably would have made more sense if they just forced everyone to come in on the same day once every pay period. [/quote]

I worked at an agency that required this and it was a logistical problem.  No meeting rooms or parking available on that day, no written work getting done on that day - only meetings and socializing. People tended to put off their discussions until that day, which compounded the problem while making telework less effective.

I much prefer the arrangement we have, especially the flexibility to switch days if I'm trying to see someone specific in person. [/quote]

Can’t they just rotate days with different areas? Like okay “Group A” these days “Group B” those days?[/quote]

I guess but then you're back to not being in person with the people you need to see. Like if you're a lawyer, you don't need to be there to see all the other lawyers: you want to be there when your particular client is in. That's why it makes sense for people to pick their days. [/quote]

There has to be some ways to work it out. I know some agencies have instituted a “home week” where everyone comes in for a few days one week a month.

When people pick their days they choose to be there when no one else is there. It’s definitely a challenge to figure out, but people are unwilling to corporate in figuring it out and I worry it will force more in person because you know “one day a week isn’t going to help” can easily turn into “okay, then come in every other day.”[/quote]
