Twice a pay period for most staff because we don’t have enough office space and currently hotel. Remove 50 miles away plus have not been called back. I suspect some folks have been granted RA to telework but it’s not transparent.

We get 3 days a month.

Very few and limited TA
Situational when we have appointments or other need (plumber, etc)
Or when the building water or power goes out. That’s happened twice. Water main break gave us a week of telework!

People post stuff like this and then it turns out the neighbor is retired or a contractor.

There used to be a lady on here who was convinced every human she saw in the park was a teleworking fed instead of, you know, literally anything else that would make more sense.

It's anti-fed trolling. There is a lot of it on here.

My other guess is that this was last month...like ya know when the feds were all furloughed!

We get 5 days a year. Taking 1, tomorrow! What happened to the religious telework,??

That’s the only option that is allowed for us. I’ve teleworked two days in the past 6 months.

We have Reasonable Accommodation telework

We allow employees to do ad-hoc TW adjacent to doctors appts, taking care of sick kids, and other emergencies. The unspoken rule is that you should do less than 10% of pay period as ad-hoc TW.

As a member of senior management, I can grant up to 90 days of medical TW without having to get it approved by HR.

Finally, my agency is allowing us to do full TW for the weeks of Thanksgiving, Xmas, and New Year’s.

Have you been asleep since January? This administration has been open about their disdain and contempt for federal workers. RTO was intended as a punishment.

Exactly. Just like the 5 bullets BS. Nobody pretends that RTO actually has benefits (except for commercial real estate investors).

The torture will continue until morale improves.

The only telework we have is for reasonable accommodations.

Some of our remote staff who couldn’t find local offices have been allowed to telework.
