[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't like that it has been radio silence so far today, apparently from all departments and agencies.  It feels like they're going to drop something awful right at COB.[/quote]

That’s the expectation.  They have until 5pm and I suspect most agencies need all of that time to get it figured out and to be able to address as many questions as they can in the communication (e.g. what happens to remote people beyond 50 miles, medical accommodations, hired under a remote agreement, etc).

I bet a LOT of people will stay online late today!  I feel bad for supervisors who are going to be inundated.[/quote]

From my sources in our director's office, the email that will come out today is just going to say: "We got the EO and OPM memos.  We plan to comply.  Further directions to come later."  You are very unlikely to get anything meaningful today.  There is so much to sift thru, from CBA obligations, to real estate, to IT support, to people who were hired remote, etc.  It's not happening today.[/quote]

I read the EO to permit what you're describing.  It only requires agencies to revise their telework plans to comply with the EO by 5 p.m.  It doesn't require them to transmit anything to employees other than the text of the EO and a statement that the agency intends to comply with it.

On the other hand, if all they have to send us is those two things, why wait until the end of the day?[/quote]

NP and with the DEI memo they told us what they were doing to comply.  Of course, this is a much more complicated issue than scrapping some programming and internal web pages so I could see them needing more time.[/quote]
