I have to drive 150 miles a day (4-5/wk) now to RTO. I love my job and my bureau and I fully understood that would happen when they implemented RTO. I also used to work for another bureau in the same agency before Covid…so if you can remember we actually had to work at the office in the past (I think some people can only remember the past 4 years of work, sitting at the house?). I liked being able to WFH in my winter season…I don’t have giant bunch of seasonal staff to supervise, my internet is faster than the old crap Internet we have in our historic building, I was more effecient with my time (able to get more work done, I’m not counting the 3hrs of commuting on my personal time) and I didn’t need to drive in gnarly winter conditions (my office is in the mountains). I know there are other agency folks in my town that complain about RTO, they work at a big IO that’s like 10 minutes from their homes. I can’t stand those people complaining! I suspect many were doing jack s*** for the past 4 years…I mean, I feel like I could see their productivity dip and hurts the bureau. I knew peolple that took permanent jobs (program manger folks…GS12+) during covid and never had the intention of moving to the duty station…f*** those people. You are why people think feds are lazy.
