I assume this isn’t public? Any idea if it’s being done by person, by group, by division etc?

There are suddenly a lot more people teleworking. Not daily or anything but def people doing so 1-2 times per pay period in my group just because.



I am wondering if the poster writing about the dashboard is a troll. we didn’t hear anything like this. I was in all week


DP, but can confirm.


Yup, another confirmation. But, it is to look for trends and outliers. And even outliers aren’t “in trouble.” Some people have a regular appointment and are teleworking part of the day. I have a co-worker who has to get regular treatments and is teleworking part of those days. All approved. All run up the chain to make sure kosher.

Will just say if this keeps up which I assume it will, people are very quickly feeling like they are no longer professionals. We are clocking in and clocking out and being watched by the overlords for things that have nothing to do with the work of the agency. That alone will make the place a much less desirable destination. Come to the SEC to investigate securities fraud and have meaningful work? No. Come to the SEC to be needled over your time card. And to sell your crypto. And maybe not be able to buy and sell the single stocks you own.


We were told even regular doctor’s appointments wouldn’t permit telework since that would be de facto going beyond ad hoc, but that was at the very beginning so maybe they are relaxing somewhat. Or maybe it is the nature of the treatment. I think the person who asked for us was going to weekly therapy, perhaps your person is going to weekly chemo. The reason probably shouldn’t matter, but the atmospherics are different.

Not that interesting, MU had no problem throwing KJ under the bus for both the bullets and RTO.

I have a dashboard showing how many provisions of the CBA have been violated.

Do they have a dashboard to track who leaves a half hour early to take lunch “in violation of the CBA”?

So they still want people to leave?? If not, what’s the point of these draconian policies and weird obsession with RTO?

Something doesn’t make sense. After like 25 years or more of flexible telework, suddenly they clamp down?

I’m going to keep sending mine anyway. It’s actually sort of fun now and I think it’s a decent idea to require it after all. Stockholm Syndrome maybe?

In a just world, the division with the LARGEST percentage of TW would get an award for character, courage, tenacity, and leadership. And this whole nightmare will have been a big test.

Ditto for the division with the smallest 5 bullet responses.

Yeah, that dashboard assumes that people are coding their time sheets correctly. BIG assumption. Garbage in, garbage out.

“If you can’t measure what’s important, you’ll make important what you can measure.” This dashboard exemplifies that quote!

I’d like to see a dashboard showing the percentage of each division that sends in 5 bullets.
