[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We've got a guy on my team who we all know has a second full time job, but he does enough of the bare minimum we can't fire him. The ratio of those gaming the system because they don't havr to be somewhere in person seems to be about 4 to 1. Can't wait for the recession and we can cut the loose chains.[/quote]

Seriously. All these people being defensive on this thread are clearly the ones doing minimal work and looking to justify it. Still no one has answered what a WFH admin does yet our company pays dozens of them $75-100k/year. To what?[/quote]

Most admins in Fed government should be cut. I never understood what they did. Ordered a few pens. Talked on the phone all day. Scheduled some meetings and got half the details wrong. Gossiped. Seriously, it is a welfare program. [/quote]

I'm a Fed. My unit receives thousands of submissions every year. Everything that comes in for review or action is logged by the admin, sent to the correct person to take action, logged by the admin on its way out, and archived by the admin as required by federal law. The admin checks the log for late items so nothing falls through the cracks. They also draft correspondence, set up interviews and big meetings, handle travel reimbursement, and yes, order supplies. Our office is paperless so this can all be done at home.

Nobody ever likes HR but I have a lot of sympathy for people who are asked to handle recruiting, hiring, onboarding, EEO training, discipline, firing, transfers/retirement, retention incentives, health benefits, and retirement benefits. It's a huge portfolio and often there are just a few people doing it all. When I was private sector, HR also had to plan holiday parties, employee appreciation, etc. [/quote]
