No, it’s not because of his conservative politics, though no doubt, this has caused some heartburn for the liberals in Richmond. Virginia Republican Governor Glenn Youngkin is experiencing a sizable state worker exodus.
Approximately 300 workers decided to leave. And it was due to his telework policy. The governor wants Virginia’s state workers back in their offices, and it seems “that was a bridge too far for these employees.” more
Of course they don’t want to return. If they did they would have to actually WORK again…
@Jethro — Exactly right!
The governor wants Virginia’s state
workersemployees backin their officesworking again.WV still has open arms to border Virginians (and then some — wait ‘tll next election cycle?). It will likely be Dem-Power-crazed, (done been there..but…You decide). Also, western Marylanders, and (don’t forget)…America, still has open arms to Canadian — turned American — STATES! (love you guys).
Have a good night’s sleep.
Damn Republicans LOL this is exactly like colin kaepernick and being a slave in the nfl….
300 is a good start; I’ll see your 300 and raise you 3,000.
Don’t destaff the departments, rather, eliminate the departments.
oh puleeeeze … 300 jobs in a state bureaucracy that employs over 100,000 salaried employees??? … they’ll never be missed … buh bye

(scroll down to the ‘Employment Fast Facts’ box … the checkbox in the middle)
Any plan that makes a bunch of bureaucrats quit sounds like a win to me.
I live with a state employee, she works at home. Check in early AM in sleepwear, get coffee. Your logged on so time to call sisters, daughter, son and friends. Maybe take a call from work. Eat a breakfast I prepared around 9AM. Online meetings till noon or so. Sunbathe for for lunch hour. Back to work in the afternoon. Plan girl events with friends, who’s bringing what to eat. Shop online with Amazon. Do some actual work probably amounting to 4 hrs. total for the day.
Exhausted, time to log out.
Have another relative that works for the state and he says if they make him go into work he is going to look for another job. Good luck with that, try finding the pay and benefits your are getting now. Go on, walk out. I double dare ya’.
Lazy bunch of fucks. Ya think they were all postal employees.
Work work hell no heeeeeelllll no my bedroom slippers are just too comfy. Plus the fifty pounds I gained not helping either.
My wife and I both work from home part time. I can say we put in more hours working from home than we did when at the office full time.
That being said, the other day she had to go in to the office for the afternoon. I saw her rushing around the house grabbing things to put into her briefcase and I said “look down”. She was wearing work clothes but had her bedroom slippers on. If I hadn’t said anything she would have gone to work in them.
It is certainly possible to be productive from home, but I sure do understand the reality that if you don’t much like your job, you’re going to slack off.
Before I retired from VISA in 2014, I had gradually shifted from full-time office to full-time working from home. (Towards the end it wasn’t even possible to GO to the office because I was 3,000 miles away!) No timesheets, just tasks and projects to be done on time. Good thing it was interesting work because my normal work week was 55-65 hours. Everybody came out ahead with that deal.
