[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We were told:
-still have AWS
-still have situational telework and we'd only need to get manager's approval
-they're still unsure about remote people but will likely find them places to work near their homes.

Seems like this won't be a big deal for remote people like it was thought.[/quote]
They haven’t clarified if I have to be in the office the 5 days for 8 hours, or if I can go into the office 10-3, and do the rest teleworking at home. If I can’t telework at all on a regular basis like that, I will just do my 8 and leave the laptop in the office. F*ck them. [/quote]

we haven’t been told this either and no one wants to clarify, but it is pretty clear that 10-3 would be pushing it. 8:45-4:45 might be more tenable. “full time at the office” likely means full time.

when i jokingly said i would turn in my work phone, management—who are very reasonable—said we still need to be able to do our jobs. i get that. they are being asked a lot here. [/quote]

Why are you asking this? Of course the answer will be FT at the office. What someone says and does are two different things.

In the private sector it’s now pretty common to leave early or arrive late for the commute and finish up at home.  Don’t ask; just do it.

Asking = answer is NO and you’re insubordinate    [/quote]

You have to have permission to ad hoc.  Our timekeeping system requires you specify TW vs office.  If I put in for 8 hours in office, but it was really 6 plus 3 at home, it’s time card fraud.  As a supervisor, I’m just telling people to get their 8 in at the office and go home—the irony is that these employees typically work a lot of overtime and that’s probably going to stop now since they have to commute 10+ hours a week they would have otherwise been working. If they need flexibility on a day here and there I can allow it, but a split schedule is not allowed at my agency. 4 hour shifts and office sharing would be one way to handle the lack of space though.  But seems like the whole point of this is to get people to quit, so I don’t think we will do that.[/quote]

Can it only be 8 or does it have to be 8.5 for lunch? I can never get a straight answer to this lol[/quote]
