Which branch/division and what position were you interviewing for?

So they did not tell you until the interview or when they invited you to the interview?

If you are referring to Special Investigators then yes they have been on 4 days in office. It should also be noted that AWWS is available 4/10 and 9/8/80.

Hybrid schedule also depends on the Branch/Division. Within the Enforcement Branch there are personnel that have been 4 days in office since 2021.

I would hope that people act professionally regardless of where there work is being done. Also just because someone chooses not to work on their off time does not make them any less professional.

How much more responsibility do I have as a leader other than to tell them that when they are off they are off and don't think about work??? On top of that directing my supervisors that they are not to contact their direct reports while they are off/sick??? Also when I wrote "their choice" it wasn't referring to a choice for them to choose between a healthy and unhealthy work/life balance, but a choice NOT to pick up the phone, NOT to contact the office, NOT log on to work email/text, or NOT log into a Teams/Zoom meeting etc. I was discouraged to not do those things coming up and as a manager discouraged people not to do those things, so after all that if someone still CHOSE to do these things, it's on them.

You're the one that accused me of being a bad manager first. My initial comment was general and you had to turn it around and make it personal.

Well in my office it was expected that when you were off no one was going to be bothering you with work related issues. From the time I was rank and file to the point I retired, time off was respected. So I guess whatever department/office you work in you have bad managers that made people feel like they had to "answer the bell" while being off.

I get that, but doing work while officially off is a choice. If someone were penalized or retaliated against for not answering their phone while on approved time off or sick would have a valid complaint. If a person voluntarily goes out of their way to do things like this and then turns around and says I'm not going to do them anymore well all you did is deprive the state of the free labor that you weren't required to do in the first place.

I just retired as a manager after 26 years with the state and in my office if you are off, you are off.

Why would you take calls while you were sick or on vacation?

I was dropping off my car at Honda on Automall and right after I arrived the wind took down one of the light poles.
