[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The situation (at my agency) is that around 30% of the people are ELIGIBLE to RETIRE and are only sticking around because they like the work and their colleagues.

If even a hint of shenanigans occurs, they will just walk out the door.  And if that happens, the shit. will.  hit.  the.  fan.  because a lot of these people were in the agency for decades and have a tremendous amount of institutional knowledge that they will take with them.  That's how I am reading it.[/quote]

What if they left and no one missed them. Could you cut 70% of the bureaucrats and policy makers and no one would miss them? Don't we have enough paper now to last into the next ice age?[/quote]

I suspect PP also complains that the wait time is too long when he calls a fed agency. [/quote]
Well, maybe they should make Feds come INTO work! The people in my neighborhood with three and four day "work-from-home" days laugh about it, while they laze by the pool, go to the movies, pick up the groceries, and catch up with household chores. I'm not saying everyone abuses it, but enough do to significantly reduce the number of these scam days.[/quote]
So your neighbors are representative of the entire Fed workforce? Interesting.[/quote]
I've heard the same reports from other people, living in neighborhoods 20 miles away. The abuse is rampant, and if we put a stop to it and actually required people to come into work and put in a "real" day,  we could probably cut 20% of the workforce right there.

Urban legends.

Agencies have cracked down on telework abuses. They don't like telework. [/quote]
Not urban legends. I'm always running into government workers at the grocery store at 10 a.m., the pool at noon, and the movies at 2 p.m. When I've asked if it's a government holiday, they laugh.[/quote]
For the last time, why don't you report them?[/quote]
