[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I work in a child care center and our phone is ringing off the hook today.[/quote]

This makes me want to cry.

Many of us are planning on working 6-2:30 or 7-3:30 so we can spend more time with our kids. Typically my work would hate that (I work with California) but I dgaf.

DH drops the kids off in the morning and I'll get off work earlier to get them.[/quote]

How do you think the rest of us raised our children? This is why so many of us non-Feds just can't get on board with all this upset. 100% teleoworkforce was never ever the goal. It was temporary and I can't understand how so many people didn't understand that.[/quote]

RTO is the equivalent of forcing the use of a fax machine.  You had to commute and put your kids in aftercare- congratulations! 🎉. Happy for you! 🥹.

None of that is necessary now.  We have the technology to do our work from home and save the government a ton of money and it’s time to move on.

My husband will stay remote regardless but “I did it the old way” is a Neanderthal mentality.  We don’t have to inconvenience ourselves for people who don’t understand that I don’t need to be in a cubicle in a rat infested building in order to be productive.[/quote]

Nah, it’s more the hand-wringing and crying that it’ll be next to impossible to work in-person if you have young kids.  When many of us did just that without *any* TW.
