[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are Fed Workers who are not going to office not working? Clean gutters, mow lawns, paint houses, dog walking, intacart, door dash, uber, care.com

In Covid when the rest of us Canned with no back pay and we could not get unemployment payments for months as you guys at Unemployment had dated systems to do it online and shut the offices and stopped answering the phones we all did all of the above to hustle.

Why not work?  My neighbors kids started a car detailing business in driveway in covid, my kids did door dash, instacart and started a side consulting business.

But why are they at starbucks and netflix and chilling go do some work.     [/quote]

Partly bc we don’t know when we’ll be back in the office.  I can’t exactly book house painting jobs when I could be back in the office on Wednesday.

And we do have ethics and outside activity requirements.  My federal CPA DH got a slap on the wrist for not reporting that he was doing volunteer work for a couple of weeks at a church doing free tax prep for low income citizens.[/quote]
