[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Telework is such a sham. People don't really work very many hours -- they just pretend. They're really doing errands, sleeping late,, etc.[/quote]
This. And don't forget free childcare.[/quote]

Not a fed, but part of my agreement was that I have childcare.  So we started with a nanny and now dayare.  No free childcare.[/quote]

It's a requirement for all Feds as well.  Pp just has an axe to grind. [/quote]

My boss won't let anyone with small children telework. He's just so sure we'd all abuse it. It's also why he doesn't let us telework on snow days, which I agree with. If the kids aren't in school, then how could we telework effectively? [/quote]

How is this legal?  Parents are a protected class under EEO.  He could get into trouble if someone files a complaint. [/quote]

Where did you get the idea that parents are a protected class under the EEO?  That's not true.[/quote]

Yes it is.  Discrimination against someone based on being a parent in the federal government is against federal rules.  If your boss is doing that he/she can get into serious trouble.

For your reference:

Executive Order 13152, also amending Executive Order 11478, was signed on May 2, 2000, to provide for a
uniform policy for the [b]federal government to prohibit discrimination based on an individual's status as a
parent.[/b]

Executive Order 11478 section 1 now reads:
It is the policy of the government of the United States to provide equal opportunity in federal
employment for all persons, to prohibit discrimination in employment because of race, color,
religion, sex, national origin, handicap, age, sexual orientation or status as a parent, and to promote
the full realization of equal employment opportunity through a continuing affirmative program in
each executive department and agency. This policy of equal opportunity applies to and must be an
integral part of every aspect of personnel policy and practice in the employment, development,
advancement, and treatment of civilian employees of the federal government, to the extent
permitted by law.[/quote]

Being against federal rules for federal employees is different than being a prohibited practice subject to the EEOC.  Why did you assume that the PP who mentioned no telework was a federal employee?[/quote]
