OK - final call for Wed. The government will be open, but with a 1-hour delayed start time and with the option for unscheduled telework or unscheduled leave. We realize that many of you are dealing with highly different conditions depending on where you live. The DOTs understand that there is still work to be done in some residential areas, but are continuing to make progress. We encourage all employees to reach out to their managers to discuss a telework option as needed to ensure everyone's safety. The official notification will be posted on the
@USOPM
site shortly.


WTF. Why are posting on Musk’s social network first rather than an office Federal resource.


Should be Truth Social!

So if you TW you don't get credit for those hours?

I'd just take the unscheduled leave and call it a day just because of the stupidity.

Because Musk's social network has more credibility than the federal government, obviously.

It’s a pretty bad call where I am - just outside DC. Stay safe all. Take leave if you need to! It may not be right or fair but do what you need to do.
