[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So DC government is forcing middle class government workers to subsidize billionaire  commercial building owners. Nice.

I guess it's too hard to come up with a more innovative way to repurpose those buildings.[/quote]

How are the workers subsidizing commercial building owners given DC owns many of its buildings and otherwise are on long term leases long since executed?[/quote]

Exactly. I've asked my employees to come into the office 3 days per week. It's important that people see and work with each other.[/quote]

DC employees already have to come in 3 days a week. The new policy mandates they come to work 4 days a week. As PPs have stated, non Union employees haven’t even received a COLA the past year even though the Feds have received 5%.

So DC employees had a pay cut the past few years because COLA was only 3.5% total in the past three FYs and they have to show up 4 days a week now and pay all the commuting costs that come with that. I wonder how valued these employees feel? [/quote]

This. With inflation and the failure to give a COLA, DC employees have effectively gotten a pay cut. Now they have to spend their money to keep the city humming while everyone else is working from home? Great for morale. [/quote]
Yup, their top performing employees will look to move over to the feds if they want to continue with the government. For years DC govt was pretty commensurate with the feds pay wise, and was generally lower stress so there wasn’t a pressing need to try and go fed, but this certainly changes that calculus. 4 days a week in the office is not happening with the feds.
