Here's the proof.</p><p>You may have seen these passages near the end of today's (4/8, 7:31 a.m. Eastern) mass email from IRS' HCO: (emphasis added by me)DRP: You must enroll by 11:59pm ET on April 14, 2025. Signed agreements, and initiation of your HRConnect action, are due within two business days of your eligibility notification. (Employees over 40 years of age must still enroll by the deadline but maintain their right to 45 days to consider the terms of and sign the DRP 2.0 agreement. Employees over 40 could, at the employee’s sole discretion, sign the agreement at any time prior to the expiration of the 45 days. After signing and dating the agreement, the employees retain the right to revoke the agreement for 7 days.) Employees may resume their previous telework or remote work schedule once they’ve signed their DRP 2.0 agreement until they begin administrative leave.VSIP: You must indicate interest in HRConnect by 11:59pm ET on April 14, 2025. Your signed agreement must be loaded in HRConnect within two business day of receiving your VSIP estimate. There are no exceptions to the VSIP agreement deadline requirements and no right to revoke. When your agreement is signed and submitted, you cannot un-enroll from this program. Employees may resume their previous telework or remote work schedule once their signed agreement is submitted until their off-roll date.So the stated goals of 'productivity', 'efficiency', and every RTO imposer's favorite word, 'collaboration', aren't actually important if an employee is only going to be around for months instead of years? Even to perform knowledge transfer? Of course not. RTO is not being undertaken for any of those reasons. Rather, RTO imposition is punitive and retaliatory toward a portion of the electorate that overwhelmingly votes blue. And it's being used as a tool to make us want to quit.To be clear, I'm not suggesting separating employees should have to work in offices. I'm happy for anyone who is able to work remotely for any reason. And any job, public or private, that can be done remotely, should have an option to be done remotely.</p><p>------</p><p><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/fednews/comments/1jutpi8/rto_is_punitive_heres_the_proof/?utm_source=ifttt" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">reddit.com/r/fednews/comments/</span><span class="invisible">1jutpi8/rto_is_punitive_heres_the_proof/?utm_source=ifttt</span></a></p><p>r/fednews is the main subreddit for US Federal government workers.</p><p>This robot is NOT affiliated with r/fednews.
