[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 7 year old is sick. Winding down from who knows what. While my remote colleagues are still remote because figuring that out is a cluster, the guidance my boss has given me is that episodic telework has also not been figured out yet. So, now I have to take leave instead of working. This is just dumb. My remote colleagues will work from home today. Because I am in the DC metro, I am not allowed to work from home and will have to reschedule meetings and miss out on a day of productivity. [/quote]

Yeah, same situation at our agency. And honestly my boss is empathetic because while he doesn’t have young kids anymore, he has an aging parent and needs to take them to appts, etc. He told us that since he’ll no longer be able to take a morning off for an appt and then telework from home that he’ll start taking entire days off because it’s not work 1hr commute each way to come into the office for a partial day.

People are allowed to be upset at how this has all played out- yes, we always knew that telework could be scaled back, but it hasn’t been scaled back to pre-pandemic levels. It’s just gone altogether. And this despite having a LMA that supposedly could only be superseded by an act of congress, not an EO.[/quote]

I’m the PP with the sick kid. My kids had an 8 year old and completely understands. I know it’s not her. It’s so frustrating though.

The great irony in it all? Russ Vought, the architect of Project 2025, which is driving all of this—Elon is just the face— has a daughter with cystic fibrosis.
