Outrageous: 94% of Feds Work From Home

Proof that Trump lied

Too stupid to do your own sourcing?

Bet you used Cliffs notes.

Horseshit.

According to a telework report released in August by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), more than half, or 54%, of federal workers work fully in person as their jobs require them to be at the worksite, such as Transportation Security Officers (TSOs), correctional officers, and food inspectors.

Employees who telework as their jobs can be done remotely still work. They, for example, field phone calls from customers or process benefits claims for veterans. In fact, telework eligible employees spend more than 60% of their time working in the physical offices.

American Public, Including Veterans, Will Likely Face Service Cuts If Telework Is Taken Away

Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy’s plan to end telework in the federal government will likely backfire as a new report by a government watchdog found telework helps recruit and retain employees who provide crucial services to the American people.

If Republicans didn't lie, they'd have nothing to say.

And closer to $150,000 once you hit GS 13 and step 10. People I know who are average usually get stuck here, because at GS 14, you have to compete. (Up until then, you just get promoted for breathing and not stabbing anyone.)

And these are people who would not be able to cut it in private. So, they have been very lucky up until now to get a government job where mediocrity is tolerated, hours are short, and pay is “stuck” near $150k.

Be interesting to see the paychecks for work at homers.

GS 12-15 $100k on up.

General Schedule

Welcome to opm.gov

Just found this - the current GS schedule for the DC region. A middling GS 10 ends up with $100k at the top step.

When I worked for the government, for the one year I did until I quit since top producers were discouraged, most of the “administrative assistants” (fancy work for secretary) were 9s. One was an 11. (No college, either).

The 9s earn as much as $90k. And the 11s? Up to $110k.

Most everyone I know is a GS 13 or 14, earning $156k to $185k. And no direct reports. And part-days from home!

It’s the same.

But to be fair, add $10k a year since they have no commuting costs,

Unfathomable irony

Old boss used to say 'They've been promoted to their level of incompetency'.

Very accurate.
