[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m not sure why rto is so important to you ?  Many have been back for several years; others worked throughout the darkest days of the pandemic.  Go ahead and join the unemployed line.   People like you (who feel entitled) have caused the bloodbath unleashed by Trump (and no I’m not a Trump fan by any means). I hope you lose your job - then you will be happy to be at work [/quote]

Granted my DH (programmer) is 100% remote in the private sector, but what about people with disabilities? When I was 6 months pregnant I fell and tore a bunch of ligaments in my leg and broke three toes. If I hadn’t been able to work remotely, instead of being productive for another 3 months I would have needed unpaid leave (despite living in CA, as a Fed I don’t get disability). [/quote]

What would you have done 25 years ago?  Cry babies[/quote]

As mentioned in my other post just now, I had about the first 15 years of my career commuting everyday. I started out in Boston and remember getting up at 3 am to shovel my car out and start driving slowly at 5 so I could get to work safely by 8. Everyone was surprised I didn’t take a day off, but I only had 8 days of leave a year so couldn’t really spend one on a snow day. I can’t imagine I was very productive that day compared to how I would have been if I’d been able to work from home. Another time I had a minor foot surgery and I sat at home and watched tv and read books and took sick time because I wasn’t supposed to be up and walking. So the answer to what I used to do is either make it work or miss work and I’m glad those aren’t my choices anymore. [/quote]
