[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Article in the NYT today about DOGE talks about how Senator Ernst of Iowa recommended selling off fed bldgs and making more people remote to save money. So who knows.

That is good way to hire workforce across the country. It may be a good selling point to GOP.[/quote]

I’m the SSA poster, and we’ve been doing this. Bigly. We already had Field Offices run by the state, paid for by the federal government. Post COVID, we’ve been opening what used to be DC based jobs nationwide and to FOs, which gives people in small towns across the country the opportunity to compete, while holding our payroll down, because they aren’t paying everyone DC locality.  And it helps us, because Field office work is different than what DC based people do, and the DC based people who understood it have been retiring. We need the expertise.

Our division of 80 or so is easily in 10 states— likely more. Last where are you logging in from was the DMV and Baltimore— California, Colorado, Georgia, Florida, a couple New England, a NOLA, Birmingham… The only downside is that with core hours and time zones, we have a narrow band to schedule division wide meetings and training— it all has to start no earlier than 12:30 and end by 2:30.  Longer training have to be run twice or recorded. 1:1 and small group meeting are often more flexible unless it’s still East Coast/ West Coast. And they do try to divide Branches by time zones. So, Branch 1 is West Coast, Branch 2 is East, Branch 3 is Central and Mountain.

So yeah, these red state Senators should be fighting for full telework with remote options. It brings high graded (GS 12-14 in our case) federal jobs to their districts.  [/quote]
