[quote=Anonymous]I don't think RTO is an issue in the DC area. We have no trouble recruiting here. It's fine in the Denver area too (where more feds live than DC). Other areas of the country are really difficult. We have an office in a rural state and it's incredibly difficult to recruit. The only other fed office in the city is a Social Security office that processes paperwork (versus the scientists I need), so it's not like we can hire from them. We'd basically be expecting people to move for this job.

I do like RTO though. I think 5/10 days a payperiod is great. Some of our top performers are actually the ones we want back in the office. People somehow got the impression that the only thing they need to do at their job is write one report. We have this great expertise, but they make themselves unavailable to absolutely everyone else. They rarely answer emails, don't answer the phone and aren't helping the rest of the agency (like my colleague who needed language proofread for accuracy to send back to Congress). My agency is scientific and most people are scientists and engineers. A lot are introverts and telework isn't helping.[/quote]
