[quote=Anonymous][quote] took 3 weeks off this summer consecutively. It’s the most time I’ve ever taken off outside of giving birth (before paid maternity leave, so doesn’t count, and wasn’t actually a break anyway). And I only did it because of RTO. Otherwise, I would have worked at least 50% of that time from my parents’ house or our extended family home, like I did for the previous 18 years. In stead, they got no work out of me and I unplugged entirely for 3 weeks.[/quote]

Same, but two weeks.  I think what some commenters aren’t getting is that many of us feds got up early and worked for 4-5 hours while on vacation - not that we pretended to be working while on vacation, necessitating RTO to keep us honest.

This was my first time unplugging and taking an actual vacation since maternity leave 16 years ago.  I’m still catching up on the work I missed and am late on everything but oh well, I’m not the one who fired people and instituted a hiring freeze and decided half the staff can do the same amount of work.  When I was teleworking I worked all hours, but now with RTO - they get 8 hours.[/quote]
