And senior managers are lonely and not agile so can’t figure out how to build relationships and manage in a remote setting. Skill issue on their part.

I have never heard about feds managing poor performance via RTO. OPM just issued a memo encouraging agencies to expand remote work. Looks to me more like agencies prepare for the anticipated budget cuts by using RTO to push some retirement eligible WFHs out the door. Otherwise, why would they ever retire?

Fed retirements that never happened:

We're 3 days in the office (sometimes more if a lunch or drinks or sporting event.) Everyone is in their area (office/cube/phone room) with earbuds in on teams calls. I think once the boomers die off they'll get rid of 75% of the space and have occasional once a month team meetings. This does suck for the junior people but they're the ones most resistant to coming into the office.

I would understand coming back for in person interaction but if most of what we do is connecting online, then what difference does it make?

You have to go in so everyone can pretend you need the office footprint. Remember when we all knew Covid cloth masks weren’t doing much good but we all kept wearing them to be nice and pretend? It’s like that.

Most people going into the office are spending it on Teams. Not sure what will change the expectation of being in office.

bs I work more now that there isn't 10 people coming into my office to chat all day long or someone talking my ear off at the office kitchen.

Same - I do in two days a week and get more done at home.
It is not to see people but also stressful because it is a time suck and all I think about are the unanswered emails!

Only dumb Republicans drive in the city. The rest of us use our amazing public transportation system.

Okay russian bot. There is no city I have lived in that had reliable, extensive public transportation. Maybe if you lived directly in the city but many of us dont.

I live in Frederick, MD. I take public transportation all the way to the city. Maybe if you weren't so stupid, you could figure it out.

^^^ moved to Frederick to escape liberal hellscape and bring the virus with you.

I love DC. Just couldn't afford to buy a house here. If I had an extra couple of million I'd gladly be back. You might want to consider the hills of VW cause we're coming for you.

You could move to PG. lots of affordable housing in a deep blue area.

Could but I didn't. You could move to TX and stop bit&&ing about the deep blue areas here. Why don't you?

You said you love DC. PG is much closer than Frederick. Seems like you are highly motivated to escape the liberal hellscape.

Seems like you REALLY want me to be, but I'm not. If it's such a liberal hellhole 1) why are you here and 2) why is it so expensive and desirable? You are just a moron no one likes who is desperate to pain everyone else around him as horrible. Move to TX and do us all a favor.

Bingo.

Sadly, this appears to be true in the legal field.
