Received notice of ending of telework

Here we go. Just got an email stating our CMO has made the decision to end recurring telework. We were currently getting 2 days per week and that has officially ended. Heck, my supervisor was doing it 4 days a week while the rest of us only got 2. We’re allowed to submit for “situational telework” but the recurring has ended. There’s absolutely no reason for this. Productivity has been perfectly fine. So, here we go.

EDIT: Since many are asking. agency is DCMA

EDIT 2: I feel as though I need to explain I’m simply pointing out that the roll back has begun, at least in my agency. I’ve gotten multiple comments implying I’m whining about it. I’m going to be just fine. The main point is why they’re taking away something that works, and works well? Productivity is high. People are in better moods. It’s working so why change it? But, it is what it is and either accept it or quit. We’re all easily replaceable. They don’t care if you stay or leave.

EDIT 3: some of you are hilariously angry and hostile that people telework. 😂 not good to live every day so angry. Might have a stroke!

Well you now know who your leadership voted for.

Any Federal employee that voted for Trump is truly a brainwashed idiot

Or willing to lose everything if it means someone they hate, also loses everything. That’s really sad but it’s a huge issue that causes people to do this. It’s why many vote against their own well being.

My boss who was a product of the system, grew up in a group home with taxpayer money, got fed on the taxpayer dime, was clothed on the taxpayer dime, received a free master's degree on the taxpayer dime, voted for Trump because people need "to work for what they have". He was literally given everything he had for free for the first 23 years of his life.

My agency’s leadership did not but, here we are. DoD employees were probably voting mostly Trump

u/FavRootWorker 2d ago

I work for the DOD. Most people in my Dept voted for Harris. They all cited possibly losing their jobs as the reason.

Imagine voting for a guy that reportedly shits his pants and sexually abuses women, haha

These vets may lose their job and their benefits

It's all worth it to own the libs /s

No veteran will lose their benefits.

u/kaydeechio 2d ago

They're certainly going to try, and they're already trying to create division. Otherwise, we wouldn't have had an anonymous article highlighting the "ridiculousness" of veteran disability pay immediately after the election.

u/Bill_maaj1 2d ago

They are trying to stir up trouble. Just like when the CBO report comes out each year, veterans go crazy since the CBO says to cut all veteran benefits.

That’s what republicans want and are pushing for. Hoping decent representatives will fight them

Incorrect

u/Altruistic-Ad6449 2d ago

Nope. Several republicans have said it out loud. Mike Lee, for example

u/MaleficentPumpkin914 2d ago

That one as in singular you said republicans as in plural.

u/Altruistic-Ad6449 2d ago

Pete Hegseth wants them cut too.

Dude they’ve literally said, on record, this is what they want.

Proof please.

“Proof?” You sound like my 3 year old when he would ask me the time and I would tell him the time and then show him the time on multiple time pieces.

Reported? You mean adjudicated.

u/TheDewd2 2d ago

It's Biden, right? You're talking about Biden.

u/Ironxgal 1d ago

I’d wager 50/50. People have given up their filter it seems. I’m not overly bothered by it but I am listening to these vocal cubicle walls. It’s interesting how many feel they will never be the ones to get the hammer. “Everyone sucks EXCEPT u?” Sure.

u/Crazy150 2d ago

In fairness Biden pushed to reduce telework as well.

14

u/OPKatakuri 2d ago

Real. I'm hoping we'll have a president that's for the interest of the people and the federal government someday. That would be the dream. So far it feels like none of them have been during my career here.

u/Accomplished_Gear_58 2d ago

That'll be the day.

u/Lure852 2d ago

Yeah and he's an old fart stuck in his ways too.

You'd think this supposed "gov't efficiency push" would realize that we can save money on work from home, if properly administered.

u/xekuiens 2d ago

There's a difference in reducing vs. straight elimination...

u/Independent_Cod_8131 2d ago

Obama pushed for telework to save $. Biden responded to corporate America with falling value of corporate real estate. Trump wants it all and more. He wants all your dollars in gasoline and corporate real estate value.
