The ironic detail wrapped up in this massive clusterf*ck: “The number of federal employees who work remotely or regularly telework increased significantly during the COVID pandemic. But many agencies have been shifting toward teleworking for decades, spurred by the desire to reduce office space costs and improve recruitment and retention, according to the federal Office of Personnel Management.”

Five years ago today, I went to work like any other day. I arrived at the office at 8:30 AM. I got back home at 7pm.

If I slept for eight hours that day, that means I spent five and a half hours of my day for my own time (mostly family time).

Today, I sat down at my desk at 8am. I'll go downstairs for dinner at 5pm. Between those two times, I'll spend an hour having lunch with my wife and daughter, and a few five minute breaks here and there where I can chat with my wife, help around the house, and whatnot.

But, I'll also more work than I would have in the office (fewer people dropping by my desk), and I'll still spend some time collaborating with my colleagues (more effectively over Zoom, each at our own computers, than crowded around one person's).

This is why I work from home, and won't ever go back to an office.

2 “#union hacks” think the #workingclass #TeleWorkers are ripping off the #government !

Fact
*The truth is that less than 1/2 of all fed jobs are eligible for telework & the #workers who are eligible to #telework still spend most of their work hrs at their regular duty stations
*after 9/11, the ability to telework was considered essential for the fed gov.
*#emergency …COVID showed how the ability to telework enabled the #gov to continue operating relatively smoothly. share.newsbreak.com/b1dxudmu?s

(6/6) Getting economically inactive people with #disabilities or caring responsibilities into jobs will only succeed with max. #flexibility. WFH is free & looks like a sensible policy when large pay rises seem unlikely; it's time to count effectiveness: theguardian.com/commentisfree/ #telework

(3/x) #Telework comes under attack. Perverse thought opposes social progress that improves other people's lives. This Scrooge-like instinct is to make work as grindingly hard & low-paid as possible, even if #presenteeism can be damaging to productivity: theguardian.com/commentisfree/

#WorkingFromHome (WFH) is free, sensible & makes workers happy. Governments must accept the new normal. Half of workers do #WFH at least partly & many workplaces have thrived due to it. Online #meetings save time & wasteful travel... (1/x) theguardian.com/commentisfree/ #telework
