Yes, unscheduled telework/leave


I don't see that on the OPM announcement tho.



OPM had initially (and prematurely) posted at 5 pm that the feds were point-blank open tomorrow; bring your a$$ to work, but switched to unscheduled leave/telework at 6 pm. They included confusing AF telework guidance for good measure

Apparently you don’t know a lot of people who work in SCIFs


I do know someone who works in a SCIF. They don't only do sensitive work and also telework some days.


+1

They ‘teleworked’ yesterday as did all of their colleagues. I assume they worked a few hours.


My spouse is literally giving a presentation at a conference virtually from his home office. This weird idea that teleworking isn't working is ridiculously outdated.


It’s not outdated when the person teleworking is out in the snow for two hours!


Stupid. I started work early yesterday at 5 am so there was still plenty of time to be outside. My office has quotas to meet so it'd be obvious if I just didn't log on.

Really hoping it’s closed and not just unscheduled leave.


I swear -- dcum is full of such lazy people.


You’re so profoundly dull.

Who is out in the snow for two hours? You? Otherwise you are just inventing stories.


Lots of people were out in the snow for two hours yesterday. Sledding with their kids. Including me. I took the day off of work. Some people were teleworking. How do I know that? They told me while out in the snow. It’s really not that hard to understand.


yeah, i've got a three year old. i took liberal leave for all but an hour yesterday, and have gotten about two hours of work in today which will probably be it. I would love a two-hour delay tomorrow if the schools actually open. though i'm not sure i'd be up for biking into the office like i normally do. maybe walk...


There is zero reason for a two hour delay tomorrow. The weather is perfect today. Public transportation is running right now. I'm actually going to be really annoyed if there is a two hour delay, because its just going to delay schools and daycares. Most Feds have a crap load of work to do after the New Year.


I live 1 mile from a metro stop (can walk there but my point is I'm not in the hinterlands) and my street is not plowed. People who live in the further burbs are snowed in still.

Agree today was lovely and we got a lot of melt to clear plowed areas, where there were any.

A dead 100 years old can make it to work in the snow but todays workforce cant.

Shows the work ethic of the older generation.


Ok that was pretty funny. I grinned.

I was teleworking and spent a couple hours in the snow. It is called flexing out. DH and I staggered our hours and I sure a long lunch break to go out with my kids. It’s also really slow because of people who did take off and the fact new year projects aren’t quite fully ramped up since a lot of people are off through this week even.
