[quote=Anonymous]I’ve heard this explanation, but I’m skeptical that it’s not just a bluff by management that they’d eliminate telework entirely.

I also wonder about offices like OIA that have calls off hours where they sometimes they rope in staff from other divisions. If staff can’t take those calls from home they just aren’t going to happen. You would also have even more staff taking more annual leave if they couldn’t do ad hoc, more staff would start looking for jobs elsewhere, morale would get even worse, etc., etc.

It seems like Atkins is comfortable with current staffing levels and doesn’t want to do a RIF. Presumably he could just eliminate ad hoc on his own initiative if he wanted to encourage more people to quit, take leave more, etc. I’m not convinced that pushing for some sort of uniform rules related to ad hoc would have to be so draconian. As long as it’s not one day a week I don’t think he’d be seen by his White House overlords as giving in.

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The union needs to push mgmt for a clear policy on ad hoc telework. Sounds like OASB is allowing a frequent and regular telework schedule. [/quote]

Then no one will get situational at all, which is worse than the current status quo. [/quote]

Exactly, if you push for a blanket rule they will go with the strictest interpretation possible.  Better that at least some people get a benefit.[/quote][/quote]
