[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is so fascinating to me. I work in tech (non-govt), and I think remote is not only here to stay but has given employees MUCH more flexibility to leave a job if they don’t like it, find something that pays better, etc. I know every sector is different, but if you have skills that work well in a virtual setting chances are you can easily quit job A for job B. Federal workers tend to have great retirement benefits and would obviously need to weigh those against non-fed jobs, but given how long it takes to get through a federal hiring process, I would hope agencies would do what they can to retain valuable staff.

I think the issue is that people are framing this as binary- either 5days in office or guaranteed always at home.

That isn't reality.  I highly doubt (other than that subset that does facilities, national security, dealing with walk-in customers, etc) that most federal workers will be back in the office more than two or at most three days per week, many likely 1 or ad hoc.

And outside of tech, there are no sectors I am aware of that are wide scale going 100% completely remote "work from anywhere." That goal is unrealistic.[/quote]
