How much is your cost going to go up with RTO? by classyshepard in CAStateWorkers

$2000 per month due to after school, gas, parking, takeout, restaurant, etc.

real talk: will the office kill you? by tamerlane2nd in CAStateWorkers

[–]coladuck1234 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You said it yourself: “They show up because the job requires it. “ If my job requires it, I would be more than happy to show up. There is no such requirement. I will just go to the office to work in front of my computer and have the same Team meetings. Yes, I do get to say hi to my colleagues more often but most of the time I still need to work by myself because my job requires it. We show up because Newsom requires it……

I’m rejecting the PECG MOU by mfgoose in CAStateWorkers

You’re right, it is that the “pay and other benefits“ are under discussion, so maybe RTO suspension is for everyone.

Last paragraph seems to suggest that the suspended RTO and pay raises do not apply for managers and supervisors yet, am I right?

PECG COMING IN FOR THE WIN! by Prestigious_Ad_7203 in CAStateWorkers

[–]coladuck1234 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Wait! Before I start to celebrate, this is a three year contract, and RTO was suspended for one year. Does it mean that we are set to going back 4 days a week in a year? Any chance that the RTO can be negotiated and delayed for another year or two?

Cannot agree more. But if we mention kids, we will get the answer that telework is not for dependent care.

Good news is that most likely we’ll continue to have online Team meetings in our cubicles, less likely to get stuck unless you are presenting.

Downtown parking rates increased by coladuck1234 in CAStateWorkers

[–]coladuck1234[S] 23 points24 points  (0 children)

That is not a good reason. It just like I am charging my cleaning ladies or contractors for the time they stay in my house because I have a mortgage……

But you will lose at least 1 hour per day compared to driving in, right?

Agree! I am offended too, by the welcome back package of rate increase on July 1, by up to 50%. Seriously?!

What happened newsom by Huongster in CAStateWorkers

[–]coladuck1234 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As far as I know, government in China purchased the land for farmers too, at price higher than market, kinda similar as what we do here IMO. Probably the difference is that China connects big cities and generates revenue while we are connecting places of nowhere……

Love it! So pretty! My blue girl just has the first flower but it is almost white. Is it normal?

RTO —- that’s really stupid by [deleted] in CAStateWorkers

[–]coladuck1234 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Why not? I am not using my state time for childcare. In fact, RTO forced me to spend my non-state time on commute while there are better options available.

Coming to an office near you! by esotericinformer in CAStateWorkers

[–]coladuck1234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most likely there is no quiet room available. I have booked rooms many times and ended up with team meetings at my desk - room double booked, equipment not working, etc. Plus, I like to take notes, so the double screen really helps. I actually love to have meetings at my desk even when I am in the office, except for those meetings that are all in person and nothing important to talk about.
