@ -- I have a job that's very much hands-on and in the office -- outpatient, with surgical components. But we had to start doing things remotely during part of the pandemic, because only truly urgent things were being seen in the office. I saw just as many patients per day with the telemedicine visits as I did hands-on in the building. The people who are answering phones for the federal departments can also process just as many phone calls from home. You're falling for a distraction. And if you think the wait times on hold right now for you or your elderly relatives trying to reach Social Security are exorbitant of the long now, wait until the remote workers decide they need to quit because they have to be in a certain physical location. You can't put some new kid who just got hired yesterday on the phones. It takes many months of training to learn how to handle those phone calls in those departments. Regardless. This is a calculated move to pressure experienced people into quitting or retiring because they want to replace them with other people who will destroy these departments from within. You might not currently depend on being able to get a hold of somebody at Social Security, Medicare, or Medicaid . But a lot of my patients depend on that. Someday you might depend on Medicare also.

What’s being offered is not a buyout. The deal is if you agree to resign in September you can continue working remotely until then. There is no buyout or severance.

[@davidcerino1145]

Well, the “buyout” and the return to work policies are completely different. The bigger issue with this pseudo buyout is that if you don’t resign and you choose to remain, there is no guarantee they won’t fire you next month, and since you choose to remain instead of resigning, you only get a few weeks of pay. So it’s a double edge sword either way, since there is no confidence that the administration will pay until September if they do in fact resign. It’s a huge gamble for people that have remained loyal and worked in government for most of their lives.

@ they don’t actually understand it, I don’t think. They seem to be under the impression that this is strictly directed at people who don’t want to return to the office to work. These are different issues. The “buyout” seems to be a matter of whether people agree to the new culture and the administration’s agenda or not. If they don’t agree they can resign.

It just provides another 8 months of earnings for those who believe they're going to get axed for some reason (telework/remote work/deletion of position). I'm a remote worker who is very close to retirement anyway (1 year). If I don't take it I risk being shown the door and pay stopped. Might as well get another 8 months of pay. Also, Federal workers who are terminated are usually eligible for severance (which doesn't equal another 8 months of pay). HOWEVER, if you would immediately be eligible for federal retirement upon termination OR are presently receiving military retirement you are NOT eligible for severance (god I hate the BS politicians put into law). I've been a full time remote worker for 13 years as all of my responsibilities are in the field and not in Washington. I've worked my butt off and tracked an insane amount months every year. In support of the mission. Yet suddenly I'm a slacker who is taking advantage of the taxpayer (of which I am one!!!). Fuck'm. Time to retire. But hold on to your hats folks.

Why does it seem like there’s always a bad apple in the bunch? This latest return-to-work policy will undermine the success of all the other efficient policies that benefit the American people. Consistency is demanded of this administration, and when a policy directly conflicts with the rest of the agenda, humility requires a modified stance. The overall goal of government efficiency stands in stark contrast to the return-to-work mandate. Remote work saves hours spent in traffic, thousands of dollars in maintenance, repairs, and gas costs, reduces the number of traffic accidents, cuts down building and overhead expenses, and, perhaps most importantly, improves employees’ mental health. The argument that remote workers are unproductive is weak, at best. Regardless of what studies claim-and they go both ways-if an employee isn’t performing, they get fired. They aren’t handed a lucrative resignation package. No, this policy isn’t really about productivity. It’s about the economy. Auto shops, restaurants, office supply stores, hospitals, and commercial real estate investors are all losing money. And let’s not forget that our President is himself a commercial real estate investor. It’s hard to ignore the possibility that this policy is about manipulating the market to prop up a sector that hasn’t adapted to changing times. When technology and society evolve, the market must evolve to meet them. Clinging to outdated practices-like insisting everyone use a corded landline when we all have cellphones-is another example of a bad apple spoiling the bunch.

[@internetonsetadd]

Telework (some days in the office, some at home) for the civil service started about a decade before the pandemic, because many agencies are out of space, both office and parking. Over the years Congress has expanded the mandate and authority of agencies without allocating funds for new headquarters, because there's a massive cost to doing so. Full RTO means everyone shows up and has nowhere to work or park. Imagine you share an office or cubicle with several people on a staggered schedule. Now you're all in one spot without enough workstations. It straight up doesn't work. But the people behind the push for RTO don't really care. They've been clear that they have nothing but contempt for feds and the work these agencies do, so they're trying to create a catastrophe.
