"The federal agency said it would allow customs officers to be shifted to other, busier ports of entry."

#3 Need to review a few things boys; some agencies have signed contracts ( from the pandemic time) requiring at home work. Also agencies have terminated building leases, so there is no office to go to. Still haven’t seen the legislation that turned these guys loose; it concerns me a bit.

#5 I work remote. There is no reason why it can't be done productively. I'd argue more productively in some cases.

#7 Working from home isn't the issue. The issue is getting rid of the under producing employees, which is apparently very difficult. There are going to be good employees who will choose to find employment elsewhere rather than go into back into DC full time, leaving the bad employees who are just smart enough to know they wouldn't last in the private sector.

Full disclosure, I spent 16 years as an above average work from home employee.

In my excuse, I am The Captain of my ship, even if it is a little dinghy. Wait a second...

#10 That’s more than the usual 9-5. Why?

To ease the congestion at the EV charging stations.
