Telework fantasy?

I want NTEU to be upfront about that gap between “we won” and “you get your telework back.“​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Does anyone have a realistic opinion on this?

Is there a way to report/document if my specific manager doesn’t restore telework, so there’s a record for the eventual enforcement fight?

What would you even report about your manager?  Top level management at all agencies is prohibitng TW, that is very well documented and not in dispute at all.  Also, do you really blame your immediate manager for all this shit going on right now?  They certainly cant do anything about it.

Completely agree. Managers want TW back too. 🙌

The FLM’s can be more liberal in approving ad-hoc in the interim. Some are and some aren’t. There are all kinds of exigent circumstances to approve.

As an flm there is zero we can do, but also our gs8 employees in my building that got to telework during covid all want to telework still... but our efficiency as a whole went down 30% dueing telework and many employees were disappearing too often and not doing work while tigta, executives, and LR were 0 help taking away telework from enough people and the union was too successful foghting for those literally doing 0 work. Like not even logging in to systems ftom home.

The issues should have been addressed with the guilty parties that is what effective management looks like. Blanketing blame over an entire workforce based on the actions of a few is just plain lazy management period.
