Telework changed my life. I'm very lucky to have the hybrid 50/50 option for office/home work, and wish it was afforded to everyone that could. I recognize those that have jobs requiring their physical presence are so strong for showing up daily in their professions. I'm in a similar field as you, but not for the Fed -- hang in there!

    So I've been a fed for nearly a year. It hybrid when I started, 2 days a week, til February of this year. Sigh.

    My last job went full remote in April 2023. And was hybrid since Spring 2021. And it was pretty liberal hybrid, like sometimes I'd show up one day a week or every two weeks.

    But I heard from friends still at that job that they recently got ordered to RTO. At least those still in the area where HQ was + the CEO. Though I think the staff is getting caught in a fight between the board and the CEO. Staff just happens to be collateral damage. Either way, seems like opportunities are fading.

    Honestly, I'd even take one day of WFH per week.

    Woof. It sounds like you face your share of stressors still, and your old place is also eerily familiar to what I'm seeing in different sectors we're interacting with lately. That 'collateral damage' thing is real, and I'm seeing colleagues getting caught in things that were above their pay grade (with lasting damage to their will to stay in the role). Sending my best to you for the strength to hold the line another day!
