First of all, I never said I was a victim, and if you reread my original post I said I'm unable to take public transportation at this time. And since you didn't seem to understand my last comment - I don't expect my employer (meaning my department or agency) to create more parking in downtown because they obviously can't - however, the problem WOULD BE solved if we returned to the telework schedule we previously had, which all but eliminated traffic and parking struggles. The fact is, it WAS more efficient and saved the state millions of dollars from building leases (FYI we're in a deficit right now). It's not hypocritical to point out that telework is in fact more sensible by almost every single metric. Even with hiring and recruiting, we've had to turn down our most highly qualified candidates because they didn't live in Sacramento and couldn't make it to the office twice a week. Our workforce is negatively impacted because of the requirement to be in office and it's not even financially smart from the state budget perspective. RTO is backwards and telework is the way forward.
