A new bill proposed by State Senator Doug Mastriano ® would require state employees to return to their designated in-person workplaces.
According to its memo, the State Employees Return to Work Act aims to improve the delivery of public services, enhance employee efficiency, elevate workplace coordination, and revitalize the local economy by bringing workers back to in-person workspaces.
“In-person work fosters team building, spontaneous problem-solving, and stronger relationships among colleagues,” the bill’s memo said. “As we rebuild our workforce culture, it is essential that employees are given the opportunity to interact directly, share knowledge, and support one another in their work.”
The memo says employees would be given sufficient notice, and clear guidelines would be established via a structured and phased approach to returning employees to their workplaces, starting with departments where in-person presence is “most essential.”
Flexible working hours and hybrid work options would be available where applicable and feasible, the memo added.
The bill has not yet been submitted for introduction to the state legislature.
Everyone who pushes for a return to office mandate is not qualified to make that kind of decision. It’s bad for workers, it’s bad for the environment, and it’s not even good for productivity.
I don’t know anything else about Doug Mastriano, but I hope he crawls into a hole and stays there.
He doesn’t care about workers, he doesn’t care about the environment, and he doesn’t care about productivity.
He cares about the big money donors who are complaining about losing money in their investments.
Sounds like he should crawl into a hole and die, then.
He’s a real piece of shit.
