Reply to comment by PaApprazer in PA state employees: Are all PA State Employees going to get called back into the office? by ChatNoir33

I am in management and I have a full time telework agreement, but since August I've been required to report to the office at least two days a week. Our union staff is still home full time, but I'm worried that if we start trying to pull them back in there will be a mass exodus. The state no longer offers great benefits or a pension, and without those it is hard to compete with private employers that pay more. Unfortunately those telework agreements were to protect the state, not guarantee the right to work from home.

My state employed friends have been back in the office since the end of last summer. Eventually, they were offered to wfh 5 days per pay period by applying for and being approved to work under a telework agreement. The state is hiring people with the telework agreement as an incentive.

Not sure how a telework agreement is to protect the state and there are only two guarantees in life.
