Let's Review the "Ending Telework" for Federal Employee Executive Order

[@bastidface]

Speaking as a federal employee who's teleworked long before Covid, I resent the phrase "getting federal employees back to work." If my agency wasn't telework ready during Covid, there wouldn't have been any work done for nearly two years, which would have created an enormous backlog of work and cost to the government. This notion that people aren't working unless they report to a physical office is ludicrous.

[@MidwestStitches]

@@bastidface agreed!

[@bp6877]

Couldn't agree more! The misnomer is that people at home aren't working. CMS workers busted their tails during COVID, and I knew of no complaints that the work wasn't getting done. That is why I maintain that it's not really about improving efficiency, but instead about protecting the lease holders and area restaurants.

The sole reason companies want people to return to the office is because billionaires are losing their fortunes due to empty and decaying corporate real estate / office buildings.

You are right except this is a federal order, not a corporate order. The empty buildings are owned by us and is very wasteful if they sit empty. Also, I work remotely and have on and off the last 15 years. It is 100% true that remote workers are not as efficient. We all know it who work remote. When I worked in house, I did get a lot more done.

[@bp6877]

@@dee2220 Respectfully, your comment speaks more about your work ethic than for the rest of us. The claim that "it's 100% true that remote workers are not as efficient" is an untrue statement. Particularly with the evolution of technology like Zoom and MS Teams, remote worker efficiency has skyrocketed, and not only is this true in my own personal experience, but it's also true from recent data compiled on the issue. Regarding empty buildings, the way to reduce costs to the American taxpayer is to get rid of them, which is exactly what agencies like the Patent Office have done. Other agencies have similarly reduced their footprint. Normally, I would not continue to comment on a KZbin episode, but it's critically important that this issue is understood correctly and accurately, because the work lives of federal workers are riding on it.

[@GAFB1122]

Telework has been around for a couple of decades. The Telework Enhancement Act of 2010 encouraged the use of telework as a recruiting tool to attract workers to the government. Government employees in fields that were able to telework have been doing so for many years long before covid. I acknowledge that during covid, telework was further expanded. It's just unfortunate that the Trump admin is trying to unwind telework as if it didn't exist prior to covid.

[@bp6877]

Exactly! Its objectives were: 1. Greater work life balance; 2. reduce burden on the nation's roads; 3. To enable the government to continue to operate in the event of a national emergency. Obviously, none of these objectives are being met by requiring all workers to return to brick and mortar buildings. One size fits all solutions are awful solutions, but so attractive to politicians, because they're devoid of nuance.

[@AtlanRau]

when my office went to virtual status, we were about 15% more effective, AND consider the fact that if the government hadnt done so already, they would not have to pay rent for any building space -- so its a win win. This here with Trump is all about Boomers hating work from home, and protecting the land lords and the local eateries downtown. NOTHING MORE. Ill probably quit and go get a contractor job. 100% virtual still

[@mmafan3]

@@AtlanRau I agree..we were on a hybrid schedule, which worked well and the work was still being done when we had facility and or agency closures. I will only go the contractor route after I secure my retirement. There's also the option of state and local governments, many of who are still on telework and in some instances, have better pay, depending on the field.

[@mmafan3]

For sure..I have a couple of cousins who have since retired from the private sector and they were teleworking back in the late 80s. Of course the technology has come a long way since, but it worked.

Ive been a Fed employee for 25 years. Ive been TWing 3-4 days a week since 2009. I dont understand the reasoning behind 'return to work.' DOGE is bragging about saving $420m last week by breaking govt leases on buildings, yet the President wants to fill up empty buildings? Why not break those leases? There is not a single piece of data that shows any federal agency or administration's performance decreased because of telework. Many TW so they dont have to spend 10+ hours a week in traffic, wasting time and gas money. This order doesn't just putbodies back in cubicles, it takes money out of our pockets and time away from our families. I will repeat myself: I just do not understand. What is the difference between me being on Teams and Zoom calls from my home office vs a tiny cubicle? What savings does this offer the tax payer? Will efficiency from returning to the office be measured? What benefit is expected? Many of us built our lives around TW after the 2010 Telework Act...now it feels as if we are being punished for creating a work/life balance.

Instead of reducing size by attrition, or filtering out low performers, or offering a RIF, or eliminating positions which are not necessary, this administration has decided to blanket every federal employee with this, essentially, punishing those people who do work hard and have managed work life balance. TW, a pension, and job security were some of the benefits of being a federal employee. TW and job security are now gone and pension calculations are being challenged, but the govt still wants to recruit the 'best and the brightest.' GOOD LUCK!

Once one realizes that the Return to the Workplace is not really about improving efficiency, saving tax dollars, or otherwise reducing administrative burden, one must ask what the actual incentives are: the best way to do that is to follow the money: Leaseholders want to maintain building leases, and restaurants want to bolster their customer bases; these are far more plausible explanations for requiring federal employees to return to the office; there are political incentives at play here, and when you consider that Trump is both a politician and a businessman, it is not unreasonable he'd be willing to sacrifice federal workers in the interest of rewarding his biggest backers: business owners!

The office is noisy, if you attend a meeting you are away from your desk, if you do the “teams” meeting-it echo’s around people’s workstations, but you can still get work done during the meeting.

As a federal employee that works for the VA and is entirely remote, I haven’t thought about the military spouse component of this but I love learning something new. I have to be honest, this isn’t a rational decision based on data that shows employees will be more productive if they are in person vs. remote. Numerous studies have shown the exact opposite. More or less, it’s about getting people to quit and encouraging people to spend money in the local economy (which is bullshit).

@ During Covid many in my dept. took advantage of telework. I didn't, because I can't work on helicopters from home. A great many abused the telework agreement. Anyway, after the Covid died down, everyone was told to come back in because that is where the work is. Everyone did. The world did not end. As I tell my daughter who is a doctor in the Navy, stop whining, embrace the suck or quit, if you think that you can do better. No one cares about the perceived problems of the government enployee.

Way more waste in the office 😂

[@AtlanRau]

Bro I wasted WAY more time in the office than out of it. In the office, I'd do a little work, then I'd get up and walk around, socialize, go get some snacks...walk around some more. At home, I do all my work first, that way I can do work around my house. At home, Im constantly doing MORE work because Im worried about people thinking Im not doing any work. AT WORK, IM HERE, so Im not worried about that, so long as I get my stuff done, I can waste time and socialize and walk around. And dont think Im the only one who does that, thats pretty much what everyone IN THE OFFICE does. Its one big social time.

FEDERAL WORKERS are taxpayers too!

Learn to spell.

Most government employees who work from home have quotas to meet per day or by the hour and are engaged in meetings for some part of the day. So, no, it is not like you get to sleep or babysit your children. Some work even more than more than who goes into the office
