    Now Joe Biden is considering pardoning Dr. Fauci, Schiff and Cheney according to Politico.  Why would he need to pardon them?  Thoughts?

    Yeah, here's another beauty they pulled yesterday: "A union representing thousands of federal and government workers landed members a work from home deal ahead of the incoming Trump administration's efforts to force workers to return to office.

    The American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE) reached an agreement with the Social Security Administration (SSA) to protect telework, Bloomberg reported Tuesday, citing messages viewed by the outlet. 

    The updated contract, which affects 42,000 government employees, will allow workers to stay hybrid until 2029.

    The deal was signed by President Biden's former SSA Commissioner, Martin O’Malley."

    Expect much more of this bullshit before Joey is finally walked (or wheeled) out the door in January.

    But I'm confident that Trump's attornys are smarter than Biden's, and they'll be able to undo or remedy alot of this crap.

    What do you have against work from home? 
    Because they belong in the office. It worked well for many decades before Covid and they need to return.
    Weird assessment. It worked well for many years for segregation, women as homemakers and presidents to peacefully transfer power, oh wait, that last one should still happen, but Trump is a crook.

    Anyway, in this day and age making a group of people occupy building space for something they can do from a computer anywhere in the world is inefficient and a waste of tax payers' money. I thought you were all for efficiency and cutting waste?
    We already own the buildings, they are ilumminated, heated and/or air conditioned whether 10 people or 10,000 are present. And, the only way you can truly ensure that employees are putting in a full eight hour day is for them to show up at work. Just clocking in and out electronically from home is rife with dishonesty and fraud. And no, I do not have the studies at hand.

    You don’t have to illuminate and heat the whole thing though. 

    And your statement about needing them to show up to be sure they are working tells me you shouldn’t be a boss ever.

    No it isn’t the only way. There are plenty of productivity monitoring tools available to businesses today. I use Controlio in my company and it works great.  And there are plenty of studies that show white collar workers are more productive and work longer hours and less attrition when they don’t have to commute. People also view it as a benefit, which leads to higher job satisfaction. 

    To be clear there are counter arguments against WFH but you have not articulated them.

    So they can’t be prosecuted, why else? This is completely rational considering the nominee for FBI director. I support it 100%. And I don’t support Hunter. 
    Can you tell me the crime Liz Cheney committed?
    If they haven’t done anything wrong, why do they need a pardon?
    Exactly!
    Yet you can’t identify anything she may have done illegally, so why the concern?  
    So why the pardon?
    I’m not playing circular argument with you. I already explained it.

    I hope not. I hope Biden is professional like he was when he invited Trump to the White House. So maybe we can return to normal politics one day instead of childish games. I’m referring to how Trump acted like a baby 4 years ago during the inauguration.
    He deserves nothing from Biden but a fist to the jaw! It’s always the Democrat who has to show good faith I say fuck that! 
    It's not about what trump deserves. Its about returning to the normalcy we've lacked.

    I don't disagree with that. I said trump was being childish 4 years ago and I hope that era of politics is over.

    Do you even know your side is lying about cutting the budget by $2T? Defense, Medicare, and interest account for nearly 80% of the budget. Which one of those are you cutting? Elon and Vivek would need to cut almost everything else to reach their target cuts

    One program they said they want to eliminate is the NIH, which is responsible for a lot of the tremendous advances the US government attained for cancer treatment.

    In reality, your team is celebrating more cancer, that’s what they were cheering for at the msg rally, @shecky

    so stay hidden in your safe and comfy spaces so you can keep up with the absurd and disingenuous attacks, unless you want cancer?

    Jeez, will you at least acknowledge the specific and violent threats lodged by trump during the fall? That I posted on this forum four times?

    this is the only way your side gets votes, by ignoring and mansplaining reality. Even the right leaning dems do it here regarding Hunters pardon given the new “enemy within” brand of the gop. That’s all completely new threats against democrats.

    They will probably cut $200K and say that it will be for 100,000 years so $2T saved

    Because they belong in the office. It worked well for many decades before Covid and they need to return.
    Weird assessment. It worked well for many years for segregation, women as homemakers and presidents to peacefully transfer power, oh wait, that last one should still happen, but Trump is a crook.

    Anyway, in this day and age making a group of people occupy building space for something they can do from a computer anywhere in the world is inefficient and a waste of tax payers' money. I thought you were all for efficiency and cutting waste?
    We already own the buildings, they are ilumminated, heated and/or air conditioned whether 10 people or 10,000 are present. And, the only way you can truly ensure that employees are putting in a full eight hour day is for them to show up at work. Just clocking in and out electronically from home is rife with dishonesty and fraud. And no, I do not have the studies at hand.

    And your statement about needing them to show up to be sure they are working tells me you shouldn’t be a boss ever.
    Right. I have been working from home since 2006. As long as I show up for any scheduled Zoom meetings, I can do my work any time of the day. The whole 8 hours thing is so random. As long as I finish the work I am paid to do it doesn’t matter how many hours I work. Sometimes I have to work 12 hours in a day or put in a few hours on the weekend during really busy times or if a deadline is approaching. Other days (like yesterday) I finished everything I needed to in about 3 hours. My boss knows the hours all even out in some way. When I used to work in an office there were also days when I finished what I needed to do in fewer than 8 hours but I was still stuck there trying to look busy (mostly by playing around on my computer). At this point I don’t ever think I could work in an office again. I am so used to dictating my own schedule.

    its a conundrum for sure. 
    on the one hand , there is a cost savings by wfh. 
    on the other hand with the reduction in driving the oil companies dont make as much. and it helps the environment.

    Yeah, here's another beauty they pulled yesterday: "A union representing thousands of federal and government workers landed members a work from home deal ahead of the incoming Trump administration's efforts to force workers to return to office.

    The American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE) reached an agreement with the Social Security Administration (SSA) to protect telework, Bloomberg reported Tuesday, citing messages viewed by the outlet. 

    The updated contract, which affects 42,000 government employees, will allow workers to stay hybrid until 2029.

    The deal was signed by President Biden's former SSA Commissioner, Martin O’Malley."

    Expect much more of this bullshit before Joey is finally walked (or wheeled) out the door in January.

    But I'm confident that Trump's attornys are smarter than Biden's, and they'll be able to undo or remedy alot of this crap.



    Do you even know your side is lying about cutting the budget by $2T? Defense, Medicare, and interest account for nearly 80% of the budget. Which one of those are you cutting? Elon and Vivek would need to cut almost everything else to reach their target cuts

    One program they said they want to eliminate is the NIH, which is responsible for a lot of the tremendous advances the US government attained for cancer treatment.

    In reality, your team is celebrating more cancer, that’s what they were cheering for at the msg rally, @shecky

    so stay hidden in your safe and comfy spaces so you can keep up with the absurd and disingenuous attacks, unless you want cancer?


     

    Zero chance they will cut SS and defense and you're right, that's where the fat is.  Everything else discretionary is immaterial to the current financial path.  That's why this is such a joke.  They will recommend cutting DOE by a billion and act like it's some sort of victory.  And the fools will lap it up, because a billion is a number that can't even comprehend, but it's nothing against the budget.

    What do you have against work from home? 
    Because they belong in the office. It worked well for many decades before Covid and they need to return.
    what about republicans/maga being "mind your own business" government types?

    its a conundrum for sure. 
    on the one hand , there is a cost savings by wfh. 
    on the other hand with the reduction in driving the oil companies dont make as much. and it helps the environment.

    what to do , what to do.....
    Why double the amount of government subsidies to the oil industry of course!

    Based on the number of neighbors I saw "working" from home during the pandemic, I wouldn't be surprised if companies find it far more productive to have employees in the office.
    But just depends on the type of job I guess. An insurance adjustor who takes calls and goes through bills from around the country and has to go through X number of files a day, probably doesn't make a difference. Someone who doesn't have a defined amount of work that needs to get done but is just expected to work a full day, might work better in an office. Especially if it requires you to collaborate or check in with other departments.

    Production, call center, or those with a queue of work each day are certainly the easiest to manage.  But they are also the type of roles with the highest attrition, so there is a counter-balance there.  

    During the pandemic, most companies were not prepared and did not have activity monitoring software in place to manage the under-performers.  That's changed at this point.  One of my offices is in a high traffic area of Florida, and (particularly during season) most people have to commute between 45 to 90 minutes to get to the office.  Working in a hybrid environment has reduced expected attrition and we are loathe to take the benefit away at this point.  

    When I was a young manager, one senior leader once told me something that I think is absolutely true.  You don't create rules for the 5% of your problems.  You create rules for the 95% and manage the 5% up or out.  In other words, if you think some part of your workforce abuses the WFH, manage them, don't punish the people following the policy and doing the right thing by pulling everyone back.

    my company downsized workspace after the pandemic. But being a quasi-crown corp (technically non-profit but it's mega profit for the government) we are being pressured by our provincial governments, who make up our BOD, to return to work more as our downtown is dying as a result of WFH.

    I never have, and never will own a minivan, that's for fucking sure.  My kids are old enough and that window is closed.  

    The point is, circumstances change.  If he knew when saying it that it was false, that's a lie. But we have no evidence of that.  

    To be clear, I was and am still against the pardon.  But I would not categorize it as a lie.  That's too....simple.

    Now you're wading in to conspiracy theory territory. I'm not buying it. He didn't just make a snap judgement overnight. He found a sufficient reason to justify going back on what he said. Good lord. I'm also not dem right, I'm as liberal as they get, but I'm not an apologist for a politician stoking some fear in order to fleece people about his son's 11 year pardon. Just own the pardon. He's my son and I don't want him to face future penalties for being a fucked up drug addict for years.
    It's a hopeless situation...
