More Telework CUTS for Federal Government Jobs 😠

👉 Download Federal Resume Examples & Interview Guide here:

A new bipartisan bill, the Back to Work Act (S. 4266), introduced by Senators Mitt Romney (R-Utah) and Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.), aims to limit telework for federal employees. The legislation mandates that federal workers spend at least 60% of their work hours in-person, effectively capping telework at 40% of their workdays per pay period.

Thanks for watching!

I am much more productive working at home than in the office. Thank you for the video.

[gmom]

👏 All. Of.This. I am much more productive at home. Too many uncontrolled distractions at work. I can eliminate these distractions while at home.

[turdferguson]

If I went to the local office, no one I work with is assigned there so it would be of zero benefit.

[evan-r-k]

Imagine how many will leave the government if their telework is cut lol.

[superturtle]

Show me someone against telework and I'll show you a manager that can't justify their own position because of it. Sure there are actual reasons like team building and company culture, but it really comes down to how important am I the manager if my team still gets things done without me over their shoulder.

Given that I work in IT as a civilian in the air force, if this gets taken away, it would be demoralizing. It's just me and my wife, no kids. All our family is here, so I would have to leave the area to where we know no one if I want a decent chance at moving up in my career. I like my government bennies, but if this passes, they are making the private sector that much more attractive.

Look up Section 504 especially if you are a veteran with PTSD, you can request a reasonable accommodation to work remote due to anxiety and stress.

[PacketWatchDog]

This is rough news but not surprising with the mass layoffs at private sector companies.

[dynamo]

lool my org "gifted me" 40 percent telework. acted like im getting so good a deal. rest of the gov is shitting on that

[sarreg]

Which jobs are considered “difficult to recruit for”?

[barbsinclair]

My agency had to move from an old facility to a nice, shiny new building in our downtown area, complete with a 20-year lease at some astronomical price AND remodeled about 6 or 7 floors with brand new everything, and NO ONE is down there, or very few, we have a handful of jobs, like mailroom and such that have to be there but the majority of it is vacant! It is such a shame to see the waste of our taxpayer dollars, and with the admin changing every 4 years the waste is insane. When we first started telework we had a nice balance of 2 days per pp telework and other in office, I would think if fair to go back to that.

[msistah]

Well it just means some people will use AWS schedule

[friendly-stranger]

They could just make the us more attractive. It sucks most cities are boring, expensive, and people are not friendly because they are poor

[odogwunwoke]

Would it affect people hired as remote workers?

[MR.MONEYU]

Question I had a direct hire job ask for my supervisor email. My supervisor emailed them back I asked what is next step they said interview if Selected is this normal for dierect hire

[Fedjane]

Great videos Armand! It would be great if you can do a video on Federal employee child care/ day care facilities costs and other options for federal employees. I’ve heard it varies by agency, like DoD and non- DoD agencies.

[ricklundeen]

Wow- Armand, you seem pretty excited in your talking today- but anyway, our whole division of 26 people are remote and have been remote for years and were hired under a remote status -- and if the remote option goes away, I just dont see our 26 people moving to New Mexico - the base of our operations. Kinda like when Trump tried to move two agencies from DC to Colorado-- people quit left and right and to this day, those two agencies have never recovered from the loss of people they had

[King]

Of course machin who often supports things that aren't in favor of the people would be for this. I only telework once a week but even that helps with not being pestered and actually getting more important projects and duties finished.

[HX]

I can feel for local economies...but I feel like the move to remote work and telework has left the station...I think it would be better to repurpose or "right size " the office space market.

Personally, I'm hoping to apply to the Federal government in a couple years and my "business plan" depends heavily on telework as we live in a fairly rural area. I'm open to relocating, but I have to consider my wife's career as well.

[amitabhstatton]

Honestly, remote work is also dying in the private sector too. We'd have to start a no shower movement or wear really strong cologne movement to give remote work more traction.
