But then you’ll just end up burning leave. Some people are ok with that and some people have no options due to childcare issues. But not everyone is going to leave their laptops at work and waste a day of leave. [/quote]

DP but at my agency in order to telework you have to have a telework agreement. If telework goes away then there is no telework agreement meaning people will not have their homes set up with an office.

Before telework we got snow days off, so I would imagine it would revert to that. I mean I wouldn’t put it past DOGE to try to have it both ways, but I don’t think it would work because of OPM determining work statuses. If work can’t be done at home on a non-snow day because it must be done in an office chair to be productive, then how would snow on the ground magically make teleworking more productive? [/quote]

No. I played this game with my agency about 5 years ago. I wasn’t allowed to telework. But on snow days I was expected to telework. Except I had small kids home and thus needed to take annual leave. I refused to sign a telework agreement and they forced me to. HR said I was required to have emergency telework and be forced to take annual leave when the office closes. [/quote]
