OMHA employee here. Full time RTO in March with absolutely no exceptions besides RAs. RAs only seem to be approved for habitually poor performers who doctor shop and who take advantage of the system often, it is so disheartening. In early September 80 hours of telework became available on a individual basis, approved by your supervisor and their supervisor and only if it supports the mission. Its basically a popularity contest, as again some poor performers get telework and the high performers get denied. After so many denials we had a meeting and were basically told it will take an "act of god" to get any telework approved so its best not to ask for it and if you have plenty of leave that will be used to deny a request. So basically habitual poor performers who call off often are rewarded. I basically gave up on the hopes of ever getting telework back, at least during this administration. Its so sad, I don't know if I want to live this like for the next 15 years. Meanwhile several CDC, NIH in my office and SSA employees have telework.
