This is the crux of it.  Too many people who feel they suffered so everyone else must too.

But how does an agency balance it with those that can't telework?

I can't telework and I was in person all through covid. Morale for the in person workforce was awful and we constantly lost people who went for telework jobs. I spent $300 in gas alone to get to the office when my coworkers sat at home and complained if they had to come in one day per month to keep the network connection active.

You can't effectively run an agency when 80% of the workforce works at home and gets to live a vastly better life and tell the other 20% to suck it up.

If anyone has a serious answer to this then I'd love to hear it. Saying "suck it up" to the in person workforce isn't the answer. [/quote]

+1 relatedly, in many workplaces the in-person jobs pay less. These are the bus drivers, police, firefighters, corrections officers, case workers, teachers, solid waste workers, etc. that are actually making society function on a daily basis, not the budget analysts, program managers and administrators that can WFH and whose jobs are important too but not essential.

Perhaps they could restructure payscales to have a second payscale for remote work that is a lower rate.[/quote]
