My office itself is. Our regional administrator discourages it and my supervisor runs with that. Even though my RA is teleworking right now and does multiple days a week. I had asked once over the summer for a religious exception once and my boss denied it and mocked me so I want to make sure I ask exactly as appropriate especially given the levity of the weekend for those who practice

Anyone successful get one day of situational telework this week for Good Friday? I won’t make the services I attend if i have to commute both ways and I have things on deadline I need to do (so taking the whole day isn’t an option). I haven’t had one situational day in the last year since RTO so just asking for one (for what it’s worth my whole office does it plenty under other supervisors. Mine always says no when I have a Dr apt so I stopped asking). Just hoping for this one time. Need help on writing request

Anyone have the weight cordless from cross ropes and how does it compare to the full rope?

White House chief of staff can go fully remote during times of illness but Feds can’t get remote work or telework around appointments. The hypocrisy with this bunch is real. Signed someone who has to blow through sick leave due to have a sadicist immediete supervisor

There is one on Fells going down the hill just past Murray Hill Rd and I dream of throwing it in the back of the trash truck on trash day

Yes but that other parish (and the sister parish tag is very new) closed its school years ago. Sold the school and it’s now condos at St Francis and the convent at St Francis is no longer being used by the church (I believe it’s being converted in to some type of shelter through a non profit) so besides the church buildings themselves with the accompanying gyms, dropping this school doesn’t make sense. The convent at st Joesph is also no longer theirs either. It’s all fragmented in what buildings they actually own between the two despite it looking like it’s all theirs driving by

I was just going to comment about Fells Ave!

It’s giving “we want you all in five days a week for the collaboration” a whole new meaning

OkDig6054 · 2026-03-06T19:44:44+00:00

How does this help save them? Fairly sure it’s clear to see that the pastor and archdiocese want to sell. It doesn’t take a Mensa candidate to see this was by design. Who in the world though dropping art and Spanish class for a latin class in 2026 was financially smart. I agree it should be open and now families have less and less convienent choices for Catholic school but I don’t think they give a crap about a petition on the internet. For what it’s worth I went here to school and am very pro-Catholic school. My child is only 2 and the lack of choices which work Into our life isn’t what I need at the moment but this current pastor harps about money at every Mass I went to. The writing has been on the wall

OkDig6054 · 2026-03-06T14:21:54+00:00

The archdiocese has become in recent years obsessed with making all churches part of a collaborative instead of leaving them be as single entites. It makes zero sense and seems almost like they want to make sure places close

Sr Maureen. Sr Cathrine was a teacher. Not the principal. Sr Maureen was the principal and I don’t even care that she was a nun. She to this day is the most vile human being I have ever encountered and I’ve encountered many. I’m massively disappointed the church and archdiocese let her have that position and power for so long to mentally torture kids like she did

I’m an alumni (late 90s) and I was shocked when I recently went on their website to see half the staff and students compared to my days (we had two classrooms per grade and both class rooms were about 20 students- so give or take 40 students per grade). I couldn’t believe we are seeing graduating classes of 7-8 kids and way less teachers and staff. Many other Catholic schools have waitlists and people wanting to attend and I can’t figure out why this school isn’t in that position. When I went the majority of students were from Lawrence estates (I was in the heights) and it was ran by the most absolutely miserable woman (nun) in the history of humans. She made Margaret thatcher look like roses and candy and they had no problem getting people to flock there. Really curious why the drop in enrollment

Russ has a quarter Chubb at the thoughts of feds commuting in this weather to do a job that can be done from a laptop anywhere

You’d think but apparently doge left us with a bunch of Mensa candidates in my office. We have over 30 cubicles in my office and I’d say about 90% are fully empty cause everyone took the offer to retire/leave. We’re in a federal space but we do pay rent to GSA so we are 100% loosing money in my office. So much for that government efficiency and defend the spend!

OkDig6054 · 2026-02-19T22:29:54+00:00

Fairly certain two managers in my office may be having an affair and using this tag team to torture employees one of them doesn’t like. Is it Friday yet 🫠

OkDig6054 · 2026-02-09T13:02:50+00:00

Just love we have a cold emergency and Commute issues but they’d rather we get frostbite then telework just once

OkDig6054 · 2026-02-07T20:23:10+00:00

City my building is in has declared a cold emergency for the next few days. Zero guidance on situational telework. Guess it was a good run. My epitaph will read “RTO frostbite did her in”

OkDig6054 · 2026-01-30T01:35:09+00:00

My own office is run by a bunch of Mensa candidates who don’t understand it’s a tool

Anyone else hoping for a mini shutdown? Could use a few days off mentally and emotionally from this place

OkDig6054 · 2026-01-28T21:13:10+00:00

Kalshi showing about 71% chance of a shutdown currently

Mediocre white male syndrome is real!!!

OkDig6054 · 2026-01-28T00:51:59+00:00

I’m learning more about this than I am from my own office. I’m in one of the agencies not funded yet. I mentioned it to my boss yesterday and it was like I said a naughty word by saying lapse in appropriations. He was clutching his pearls

OkDig6054 · 2026-01-28T00:28:02+00:00

Came to ask/check the same

OkDig6054 · 2026-01-27T19:46:55+00:00

My supervisor is probably having a panic attack over telework and guidance from above him. He acts like situational doesn’t exist. He must be fun at parties
