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]

I'm not really sure what you are asking (I'm promise I'm not being snarky).  There are some jobs that have never switched to telework, because they cannot be done remotely.  That hasn't changed.  Patient care, animal care, lab work, on-site security, on and on.  But there are lots of jobs that can be effectively done from a remote workstation at home.  [b]Why should someone whose job can be effectively completed off site be forced to commute?[/b][/quote]

Because those same parents lose their ever-loving minds when their kid's in-person teacher gets a snow day the parent doesn't think they "deserve."[/quote]
