Fork in the road letter

But I go back to my earlier comment….did these people really think remote work would continue forever? They must have if they bought homes far removed from the parent organization.

Yes, I thought my remote position would last until I moved on. It is my duty station. Let me ask you this…do you think your duty station will last forever? Suppose you think it will until you retire or you decide to relocate/move on. Now the fed decides it needs your position elsewhere more than 50 miles away. Would you be ok with that decision from the feds? Whether you like telework or remote work is irrelevant. A change of duty station against the employee’s wishes is still an adverse action.

I do feel for the folks that are getting axed. Heck might be me later on if cuts keep coming. That being said anyone who thinks the government can’t do what they want ain’t been around it long enough. I’ve served in uniform and civilian DOD since I was 18. Did deployment to Iraq when I was 20. People think serve your country and it’ll take care of you. But the country don’t owe you as an individual anything. It owes the best to the major of this country. Not the fringe percent

I don't think anyone involved has done any sort of calculation into the fallout and unintended consequences of all this. This is "I don't like it, so let's burn it down."

The work in office mandate is whatever sure that’s within the range of authority. The quit, we don’t appreciate you, go be productive in private industry, all coming from newly installed technocrats is the problem. The handing over access to all federal workers information and our payment system to some unknown unvetted tech bros.. also a problem.

They put out and retracted an executive order within a day and blamed a midair collision on DEI. Not a bit of this is intelligently calculated.

Leopards are eating our faces.
