Just nothin going on in Dc. People never went

There is some merit to doing that. I actually think it could get bi-partisan approval, depending on what is actually proposed.
This has been something people on the left have been pushing for at least since I’ve been paying attention to politics.
following up, this article from 2016 makes a good case for it. I was looking for examples further back, but this gets the gist:
Move federal agencies to the Midwest
We have to break the power center. There’s a reason 10 of the richest counties in the U.S. are D.C. collar counties
A 6 trillion dollar a year slush fund and they’re all feeding at the trough
I’ve never had a completely transactional employee who was great at anything. That attitude belies more than what you’ve discussed, in my limited experience.
There’s also an assumption here that if someone works fewer hours they’ll spend less time unproductively. Why wouldn’t they work at the same rate of productivity just for fewer hours? Again, there is no a priori answer here—it’s going to differ by person, employer, region, job type, etc.
much easier to avoid temptation when you're in the office
Yep. Some Cook County Domestic Relations courts are still all zoom for status hearings. Excellent development.
Hey lawyers.... How many Federal govt employment laws do you guess this breaks?

Might as well move it to Whatsapp:
Hey judge
Still fighting

I am being a bit hyperbolic to make a point. These people likely are not 100% transactional but most of them are transactional to a degree that likely is closer to 100 than it is zero. I think part of it can be in the type of work too. To some law is a "calling". You derive value out of being part of that. I don't think people are generally called to be an insurance adjuster or a customer service agent or insert any number of cubicle centered white collar jobs here. I like my job but if I hit a large enough lotto, I am out yesterday. If someone came along tomorrow and offered me $50,000 more a year, I am heavily weighing that in the new company's favor when doing my list of pros and cons.
Low performers are low performers. I am more talking your average and above type of employees. I think good employees still want to be good employees and would strive to meet whatever their defined goals are for the job. They would probably shoot to exceed them. But if you told them that they didn't have to stay for the whole 8, I bet there is a little less time spent on time wasters that even the best employees do every day.
I am stunned by the amount of managers that don't want to manage. Managing remote or even off hours work (overseas for instance) isn't some version of rocket surgery.
As to keeping employees the only way is to "overpay" them. Whether that be benefits, PTO/timeoff, flexibility, or just more money (I use incentives based on production and quality).
I have it a bit easier. Most of hte work i manage (insurance adjuster adjacent) is heavily tilted towards a production environment. Objective, clearly defined metrics. And I share all employee scorecarding results globally. No hiding.
And that's before we even get to the actual production metrics (also shared globally). I find that sharing htis stuff globally creates competition. People don't want to be in the bottom half in a month/quarter/year. And understanding shit employees is easy.
I have (knock on wood) very little turnover. Like, less than 5% a year. HR would say we overpay. Ok, whatever Jan.
That’s straight 🔥🔥🔥. Can I come visit you next time the rankings drop? Lunch on me
I would absolutely love to work there. That’s comedy gold
Lars Industries aint for the woke mother fckrs!!!! Every Monday we rank you sumbitches like hogs!!! Below this line to the slaughterhouse!!!
Might need to start live scoring book club meetings in 2025. What’s the cutoff for elimination?
I want you to cut Lars. But no warning. Like he just can’t get in. Then a week later send an auto email
We ain’t doin real work. Phone calls. Zoom bullshit. Not farming like you. By the way. Clarkson’s Farm. Soooooo great
Biden’s workers are like our basketball team, why play hard when the cash is the same?? 🤷♂️back to the office. Ridiculous. Biden is really something else
White House says mostly empty DC offices are a 'national embarrassment' in memo about federal RTO mandate
A memo from the White House's Office of Personnel Management criticized "virtually unrestricted" telework and laid out next steps for agency heads.www.yahoo.com
Saw the talking heads saying iu fans are classless chanting fire Woodson. F off. Want to be pros fine. Boo their asses out of the arena. The coach. The players. Treat em like an nhl team on a losing streak
I've met those boys. Good kids. My son actually talked about doing that before Clarkson's, but I didn't encourage him enough. We wouldn't have been as entertaining. We would be like if Real Housewives and Clarkson's had a baby.
Larson's, The Millennial Farmer, and Cole the Corn Star. Are some other's you can try. Laura Farms on IG.
Utter depravity. Those refugee funds that whiny poster was complaining about getting cut should be diverted to getting everyone using free Zoom, Teams or another premium product. Make America Great Again!
Cole is pretty cool. Isn't he the one that did the 2 row, 4 row, 6 row corn yield test?
Tbh, I don't know. I just see bits and pieces that my son thinks are cool. That does seem to fit his MO.
He received 40 million votes. Answer is the same. Did I say majority?
The patent office has had remote work for over 25 years. Examiners live in all 50 states plus Guam and Puerto Rico. They already have difficulty finding qualified people. Those 10,000+ employees are not going back to the office. Anyone who thinks otherwise is delusional.
I do find it interesting that this issue, which has no inherent political edge, has been such a political issue for many, especially in the MAGA crowd.
