[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread is depressing. I used to work for the Fed, and I thought the staff was better than this. The answer to RTO is to form a union or strategically use leave to cover it? Thank goodness the Chair is more dedicated to the mission than those in it for an easy paycheck. Really, really disappointing. [/quote]

Wow.  Your response is what's depressing and disappointing.  There's nothing like being lectured about loyalty to the mission by someone who left. Way to set an example. The sneering reference to a union (working people who demand a say in how their workplace is run? what horror!) matches up with the bootlicking mindset on display here.

If there's anyone who's loyal to public service, it's the current career employees who work hard every day to get the job done.  That's why RTO is so frustrating, because study after study shows that employees are more efficient and productive at home, away from office gossip and idle hallway chatter.  They donate otherwise wasted commuting time to doing work. But the Board members mandating this obviously love the idea of having people around saluting and fawning over them in person to stroke their egos, which is what this is about. There's a reason the RTO message didn't cite a single objective reason for the change in policy,  because there isn't one. And to think they are in this for the mission? Haha, more like in it for the book deals and future paid Wall Street jobs and speaking gigs (even Saint Yellen).  It's "the staff" who make the place run and do the work, and they do it better offsite.[/quote]

Pretty cynical and narcissistic: no one cares as much about the Fed as poor you. You have no idea why the PP left. Maybe they’re now a SAHM. Or switched careers, retired, or moved for a spouse’s reassignment. You make it sound like they abandoned the mission for a crypto firm. As for unions, they have typically thrived where workers have been abused. Think filthy conditions, long hours, no breaks, and poor pay. None of that applies to the Fed and its employees. You’re not being abused. As for WFH, many studies show that WFH is NOT GOOD for innovation and employee engagement. WFH leads to a check-the-box mentality that wants to complete a set of tasks and sign off. Long-term, an organization like that will fail because the world is changing too quickly. As for higher ups pushing RTO to have others fawn over them, I think you’re projecting. When was the last time you fawned over a Board member? In fact, protocol denies staff such opportunities. As for leaders serving the Fed for a book deal or a Wall Street job, most of them have been-there-done-that before they get to the Fed. [/quote]
