[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]4/10 schedules were available to DC feds back in the late 1980s. [/quote] [b]But what Feds dont realize that non-exempt corporate drones pre-Covid the normal work day was 5/10s. [/b]Pretty much I got to work around 8 am and left sixish my whole career. Big companies hate clock watchers. So I could see the 4/10 get pushback. I recall my one job I had 8 years tracked hours. I usually hit 40 hours by lunchtime on Thursday. And I was not a workaholic. 4/10 schedule in non-exempt world is fantasy as everyone is already working 5/10. And in Remote they log in at 7am on way to bus stop with kid and log off at 530 pm while prepping dinner is technically a 10 hour day. But on honor system. It is great employees and great for honest hard working people. But lets be real. [/quote] Yes, we do realize that, we joined the government so we could get flexible schedules and work 40 hour weeks. In exchange we get generally lower salaries and a meager bonus if we’re lucky, at the same time following strict rules of employment. [/quote] [b] A lot of FEDs were moonlighting post COVID. Why do you think DOGE was inside the IRS. Wait till the dust settles on tax filings by the FEDs.[/b] [/quote] THIS! FEDs were made more money during COVID then anyone else. No commute, WFH, side hustles, no child care, remote work while on travel banking leave! [/quote] Um, yeah. We kept the country running. We worked our jobs at crazy hours because our kids were home. Mine were 2 and 5 at the time. It was awful. We sent them back to child care as soon as it re-opened. And had to keep paying for child care to hold our spots even while our children did not attend. There was exactly zero nefarious side hustle or system gains while we did everything we could to stay afloat. [/quote]
