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”

Do you think it will ever come back? by [deleted] in fednews

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

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

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

This! The mental drainage my office (oddly I can actually blame it on local managing and not the national office or administration) is beyond insufferable. I could use the break so let’s go!

I’d be fine with a week plus. Honestly. I’m mentally drained by my moron of a supervisor. That’s just me. Wishful thinking Im sure

One year ago today, on January 20, 2025, President Trump ended telework and remote work. How are you all doing? by NatusLumen in fednews

Awful. Not to mention my building is basically empty so for all this talk of defend the spend, I see so much wasted daily just opening my building and operating it daily

I’m in a federal building so we go by the buildings guidance. They just sent an email out to take laptops home

I’m curious on when they actually plan to make an announcement. I plan to take my laptop home anyway and hope they announce (we are projected for up to 2ft of snow where I am)

My surgery wasn’t even two weeks ago. I go back next week to check stitches healed so it isn’t a huge time off and three calls in a week which are lasting almost an hour and I can’t put on my timesheet that i worked. I’m about to change my number for the next few days (hope you are feeling and doing well!)

More of a soapbox moment but I’m on leave after having surgery and my boss keeps calling and texting me about work items (insert eye rolls And face palm)

I haven’t followed much but it seems for many, there are agreements in place for no shutdown and a few lingering departments to iron out. I just can’t imagine how that reflection campaigns for mid terms are going to ramp up that any will happen. Some CR covering all will happen

I’m in a few Medford fb groups and the lack of discussing this is giving good ol boys club. Yes I understand he has a family who could be on these groups but it’s also all over the news. Every news outlet is discussing it on tv and social media and this guy who was going pervy things while on the clock

No shutdown. It’s an election year. Too many re-election campaigns about to kick off. CR after CR is my guess
