[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]After reading some of these responses, I think there needs to be a more uniform approach that is consistent across divisions and offices. Some offices should not get to telework more just because they have a cool boss while others never get telework because of a strict boss. It should be the same policy for all SEC staff. [/quote]

If you ask for a uniform approach right now, it will be uniformly bad for everyone. All you'll accomplish is getting that bad approach written into a document that will be hard to change.

I can tell you from long experience that how telework actually gets increased IRL is that individuals work out deals, and those go okay, and the deal gets expanded to other people over time. In an unfriendly environment like the one we have now, you [i]want [/i]some people to get more flexibility even though that isn't fair. Those individual deals normalize the policy you want while also creating internal pressure because everybody tries to get into the offices with good policies and supervisors who actually use their flexibility. Then at an opportune moment, that gets turned into policy for everybody. I've seen this happen repeatedly at agencies without unions.[/quote]

Exactly. FWIW I'm NOT one of the ones with the deal that ppl are saying above that their supervisors are saying 1-2 days per week is ok as long is it's different days. Yet some telework coming back quietly for some people will lead to a little bit more, little bit more, as word gets around, supervisors start to feel like hmm my counterparts in x office are approving it with no consequence to them etc. You go around demanding perfect fairness right now and someone is bound to come out with an edict scolding the people allowing any telework at all and saying no telework allowed for anyone ever.[/quote]
