[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I attend industry conferences that have a focus on recruiting in various fields, depending on the conference. Some of these conferences run through Saturday. The recruiters for fed agencies always pack up their table and fly back on Friday since no way they are going to work outside of their standard hours. The private sector people all stay the final day (and get more recruits because of it).

We just have a laugh about it. It's more than one agency, but they all seem to do it. I don't doubt plenty of Feds do work hard, but no one if private industry would get away with leaving a conference a day early like that.[/quote]

It's possible that if they work or travel hours beyond their schedule that they would need to be paid overtime or comp hours. They are saving the tax payers by leaving early. [/quote]

Correct.  I am not allowed to travel on weekends without getting budget approval for the time worked.

The OP posting here has no idea what they’re talking about.  If you paid me 100k more a year, and let me have some flexibility instead of micromanaging my every move, sure, I’d travel weekends.  As it is, we have to account for every minute of the work week and it’s only getting worse.[/quote]
