We've been blessed with two months of meltdowns from the feds (and former feds 
) all over reddit, twitter etc.
But did you know that's there's another group of government employees melting down 
?
California government employees have been freaking out... not over being laid off or being asked to quit, but from something much more horrible.... Coming into the office 4 days a week 
Gavin Newsom issued an executive order stating that they need to be in the office 4 days as week, up from 2 currently, by July.
Naturally, there have been many theories about why this terrible news has come to pass.
Theory 1: Newsom is in cahoots with realstate owners and local businesses to boost the value of downtown Sacramento (probably true)
Theory 2: Newsom is positioning himself as blue DOGE in order to help his 2028 presidential ambitions.
The last theory: that perhaps they were not very efficient while working at home has not been entertained.
Really the entire sub has been good, but here are some choice threads:

LEAST hysterical californians.
Also "I need to WFH so I can do non-work tasks during work hours" is not the winning argument these people think it is

It does seem to be a big leftoid thing whenever you wanna make up a grievance. Just like reddit banning third party apps was bad, but only because the default app was lacking in accessibility features

UC Davis girlies used to give handies and blowies for rides into Sacramento and for you to hang around until they finished whatever bullshit they had to do in Sac because the public transit to and out of Sacramento is a nightmare.

Most of them know it's awful but think the only way to fix it is for normal people to have skin in the game and somewhat force them to use public transit in order to persuade politicians to fix it lol.

Can someone explain what the frick " Must be fabulous to not spend 1/6th of your net pay on aftercare because someone with much clearly better material conditions than you just feels like sending you back today." means

I'm pretty sure they are r-slurred and meant to say childcare and not aftercare.
Or they're a degen who uses the term "aftercare" a lot and got the words mixed up in their mind.
The quote you shared makes more sense through the lens of "it must be rich and not have to worry about childcare when someone forced you to go to the office".

Yeah "after school care" I guess. You'd have to be pretty un-degen to screw that up tbh.

The most significant argument I've encountered from management is that employees use telework to care for their children during work hours. I'm concerned that your emphasis on this issue will reinforce their existing concerns.:
