I love WFH more than anyone, but there’s no question that RTO is much better for the local economy. Lunches, metro rides, parking fees, dry cleaners, etc.


I'll take metro, but won't do any of those other things (dry cleaning - my office is business casual, I wear Boden, which is machine wash; I bring lunch, I don't drive or buy coffee).

It's a bad move. I'm a DOJ attorney, and constantly evaluating my private sector options. If WFH is reduced, I'll go with the money, understanding that I am being paid more and going in at least as often.


And the DOJ will replace you in a heartbeat. Bye!


That's fine by me.

like the middle class isnt taxed enough and now we have to prop up the local economy with our dry cleaning so we can sit in cubicle farms eating sad desk salads?

its the worst argument. makes no sense.

at least say one needs RTO for mentorship...

Same, we have all of these people in their 60s and 70s threatening to retire if we return to the office and although I’d rather stay home too I hope we go back just enough for them all to retire from the jobs they’ve been sitting in for decades.

I guess GAO shouldn’t have given up our leased space. Nowhere to go. Oh well…

This won’t directly impact WFH for SEC right?

The SEC won’t be impacted by this right since we have a 3 year union agreement to only go in 2x per PP?


bargaining unit members won't be affected. they can always change the terms on the supervisors.

Both in addition to optics beyond DC given how the private sector has shifted.
