Landry ends remote work effective 6/30/25

I wonder if this applies to his wife

I wonder if this means he can't go to McKernan's hunting camp in Texas to conduct state business??

quote:

Are these politicians ending remote work because it’s proven that being in person is more productive or is it just to make feel-good political statements?

---

the businesses that support these guys are run by "butts in seats" old men..

A company like the one I work at loses money when those buildings arent full of tenants

It seems like remote work would work out just fine if the supervisors actually monitored the employees and gave them tangible, objective goals that they have to reach.

The VA has a department that approves Community Care consults for veterans so that they can go see private specialists if it's more convenient for the veteran.

That department had been teleworking since covid. Their fricking quota was ONE CLAIM PER HOUR. A claim takes an average of 10 minutes. Then they would frick off for the next 50 minutes.

The supervisors and the AFGE union would tell employees to slow down andto only do one claim per hour so that no one questioned the artificially low quota.

Veterans had to wait MONTHS for an approval that should have taken a week.

Now that that department is back in the office, they are mysteriously caught up.

State buildings aren't losing money when they're not full.

I know for a fact it's true. They were so far behind that they approved teleworking overtime for those teleworking employees.

Employees made as much as $40k in OT to process one claim and hour.

I have receipts and I'm ready to take burn thw whole charade to the ground.

The Commissioner of Administration, upon request of an Agency head, may approve exceptions to this directive. Any such exception shall be in conformity with the policy guidelines and limitations to be issued by the Commissioner of Administration.

Basically, all existing telework accommodations are terminated June 30; and whatever DOA policy is decided on will be effective July 1. Based on the Dept of Revenue (I'm sure Nelson asked Landry what he wanted) allowing a 4/1 hybrid schedule; I wouldn't be surprised if that becomes the new policy.

This antecedent doesn't disprove that WFH is a viable structure, it just shows how bad unions are and how ineffective some management is. And mostly shows how little our country gives a frick about our veterans unfortunately.

Every study and stat sheet show that hybrid work is by far the most effective for a company. Strictly WFH and complete RTO isn't the way to go.

You need some days in some type of office environment to effectively train new employees and the build culture you want in your group. The in-office days do not need to be a set number of days; it's up to a manager to figure out what is most effective for his team.

It's boomers and crap managers that hate WFH. This old way of thinking that happy employees are a bad thing is just so bad for your productivity, and they are stealing from the company by being at home doing home chores while be much more effective at their job. RTO costs the company so much more money keeping more office spaces and support staff while showing employees are far less effective in that office. Bad managers just love making their employees unhappy more than they like being more profitable and productive though.

Vote Landry out. He's an absolute embarrassment. If you're a republican, you need to punish him for the consistent government overreach
