[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My agency just told everyone the bearings will continue until morale improves.  No full days of telework.  I’ve lost amazing employees, and for some reason can’t seem to get  the problem children to move on.  They’re doing a heck of a job destroying things!

As far as split schedules go they are useless for those of us that don’t need to be home before and after school. And for those that DO need to be home before and after school, I have real concerns about whether or not they’re actually working.  It’s a grueling day commuting two ways and then logging back in??  Why would I stretch my day out to 12 hours plus?!!!   We need to let people have a day or two at home every pay period , at the very least—people are taking so much leave and are unavailable because we aren’t meeting them halfway. I’m just so disheartened by all of this.[/quote]

NP. My agency is headquartered in the suburbs and most of us have very short commutes. Split schedules would not be an issue since most of us have under 15 min commutes. My issue is that there's been a lot of issues with my kids' public school schedule and it's always last minute. Since Thanksgiving every week there's "aftercare cancelled for today! Kids should just go home their regularly scheduled way." (wtf school?? The regular is that she goes to aftercare!) Or that school is ending early after the holiday party, make sure to pick your kids up. I have the leave and I don't mind using it, but work minds.

Work is unhappy I can't be on meetings later, but I would gladly be on meetings if telework was allowed. I can't be on 7am meetings and also be on 5pm meetings. I used to do this when telework was allowed, but no way am I working 11 hour days in the office to accommodate that without telework. [/quote]
