Yeah that ain't gonna happen for me. He can drag his arse down here to try to get me back to the office but I have settled into a work from home routine and I ain't changing.

LSU is a state agency so I would lean to say yes. I would hope it will be addressed at some point in the near future.

personally think this is Landry’s way of trying to cut the state workforce without actually cutting it. Between this order and the hiring freeze, he’s trying to force people to quit and go private sector.
If this drags out past end of the fiscal year, you’re right people will jump ship to consulting and get paid, as they should.

The main problem with government workers working from home is they use considerably less sick and vacation leave working from home, and all that accumulated leave time becomes retirement credit.

I have worked both public and private sector. They aren't as different as people like to make it out to be.

The whole RTW is really driven by landlords, chamber of commerces and local municipalities.

Eliminate the lavish pensions next. Move them to a 401k.
Jindal wanted to do this but it was cheaper for the state to run it's own pension system than to pay the employer share of SS. Plus it gave them more flexibility.
If you think these pensions are so lavish why don't you work there and get one?

This is what always gets me. Everyone talks about cushy, overpaid government jobs, but at the same time, no one wants to work there.
But on topic, if I'm told I cannot work remotely at all on the clock, you can bet I'll start leaving the office and refusing to do work after hours since I'm not allowed to work at my house during the day ever.

quote:Same. This is true especially in the civil engineering world. For the most part you work the same schedules, deliver the same quality of plans. If you’re a consultant designing plans for dotd you have to follow the spec book, use dotd standard plans, etc. A lot of interaction between public and private as the two usually work closely together. And if you work for a small private firm the pay really isn’t much different.

Under LASERS, unused sick and annual leave gets converted to retirement credit. For example, let’s say you’ve accumulated 260 unused sick days, then that’s one year of extra retirement credit.

Yea I’m thinking of something else my bad. I know if you leave the department you get paid out a max of 300 hrs annual. But I guess I don’t see the issue with a retirement credit for working all the time and taking less leave. I agree it’s harder to supervise with work from home. Something like being sick or staying home to watch a sick kid you would normally have to take leave for. I see your point

I believe you can take a lump payment from any unused leave at the time of retirement beyond the 300 hours - rather than converting it to service credit, but it’s a reduced rate - so you get more out of converting it to credit.
I know a guy who took a lump payout of leave. It was like a quarter on the dollar or something like that - if I recall correctly.

The policy is going to pertain to exceptions and exemptions. Make no mistake about it, Landry’s goal is to end telework for most employees.
State employees are not entitled to telework. It’s a benefit that most agency use and highlight when recruiting.
