[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My spouse works for Maryland state government and they were ordered back into the office 3 days a week like 2 years ago. I don't really get what the big deal is here. I guess 3 days would be better than 4, but I also think it's insane that there are people who haven't set foot in an office since March 2020. That was 4 years ago! It's crazy this took so long. If I was a DC employee who was required to work in person (teacher, police officer, public works employee, DMV, etc.) I'd have such immense scorn for the lazy middle managers parked on their butts in suburban home sending emails all day and never bothering to come into the office.[/quote]

But you are ok with middle managers parked on their butts in urban offices sending emails all day. [/quote]

Yes because if they are in the office, there is a greater likelihood they will be held accountable for their duty to the city and its citizens. I actually think it's important that DC citizens be able to interact with the people you run the city and services that residents pay for, and while some amount of WFH is fine with me, I want city employees physically in office more than half the time. Especially since my taxes pay for those offices, their computers, the servers they rely not do their job, etc.

I don't care what private sector companies choose to do with regards to WFH. My taxes don't pay their rent or their salaries. Not the case with DC government.[/quote]
