These organizations functioned well as WFH. RTO places undue burdens on people who set up their lives around the idea that they'd be teleworking and directly contradicts messaging from this administration.
Joe supported: Governor Newsom must rescind his mandatory RTO order for California State EmployeesRTO is forcing me back into a hostile work environment, and I’m devastated. In addition, I don’t know how I’ll pay for gas and parking. RTO makes no sense, and I’m sick of being condescended to by hearing the BS “collaboration “ excuse for RTO. This order makes it abundantly clear that state workers are political pawns, and our mental, physical, and financial well-being is of no concern to Newsom.
RTO is harmful, demoralizing, and creates hardships for employees.
Marta supported: Governor Newsom must rescind his mandatory RTO order for California State EmployeesMy husband and I want to buy a home and start a family since we are in our late 30's. Unfortunately, the housing in decent neighborhoods in Sacramento is far from affordable and we don't have child care through our family. The RTO mandate amplifies this issue since there will more expenses to think about and less flexibility to provide our own child care. My team and other units we work with have been very successful in providing excellent results while WFH. The RTO mandate is completely political and has no standing in the real offices where we work. There are is no data to say otherwise. No one has been more productive or collaborative while working in the office. From my experience, after the added expenses and commute, the office is a loud environment where concentration is impossible with the amount of chatter. The morale has been declining with the upcoming RTO and all for a political play on the backs of state workers who are expected to spend their little money on "revitalizing" downtown when we can't even afford to buy a house or start a family. Tell me how that makes sense?!
Lynn supported: Governor Newsom must rescind his mandatory RTO order for California State EmployeesI accepted a position with the state in 2023 because it was a hybrid remote position. It didn't pay more than my current job, but I new even partially WFH would save me some money and provide the flexibility for my wife and I to start a family. Now we are expecting our first child in a few weeks and I'm looking for a new job that is remote or has a salary that will cover the cost of daycare full time.
Travis supported: Governor Newsom must rescind his mandatory RTO order for California State EmployeesBe a better American and speak up for a more balance work like balance and keep full time telework! With chronic pain telework allows me to work full time and manage pain better, contributing to a higher quality of life.
Candi supported: Governor Newsom must rescind his mandatory RTO order for California State EmployeesForcing workers to return to an office is an endeavor that hurts the working class and only benefits big businesses and real estate investors. Workers have proven their ability to work from the freedom and comfort of home without any negative impacts. If the office buildings themselves are not being used then it would be better to repurpose them into more mixed use developments with living and shopping spaces.
Spencer supported: Governor Newsom must rescind his mandatory RTO order for California State EmployeesThe RTO mandate is absolutely absurd. The governor has single handedly destroyed CA. State workers are a HUGE back bone of CA and you just pissed off THOUSANDS of them. We dont get paid properly the only benefit is remote work. Why would any of us want to stay working for the state?!
Not to mention how disgusting the state buildings are. The bathrooms are a hazard zone, there are cockroaches and cockroach traps EVERYWHERE....how is this an acceptable environment to be in even 1 day a week let alone FOUR.
Macey supported: Governor Newsom must rescind his mandatory RTO order for California State EmployeesI already work 4 days in office, this to for all will increase my commute time and impact our workspace as we have had issues with leaks in the building and some office areas can't be used for staff.
Not to mention lack of parking and the cost to our already stretched state budget from transit subsidies that will increase. This seems like a rash decision with very little planning done.
S. supported: Governor Newsom must rescind his mandatory RTO order for California State EmployeesThe office isn’t a place for collaboration. It’s a place for time wasting and it’s a place the state spends too much money on. There are so many business benefits to working from home. There are even more personal benefits. None of these can be ignored.
I’ll say that I’ve never been happier than when I’m working from home and this is reflected in the number of people who used to apply for our positions when we were fully remote and the low employee churn.
But I think the biggest issue is that these office buildings require maintenance and expenses that we shouldn’t have to pay as California state tax taxpayers. We have proven we can do work from home. In addition to expense, the traffic and parking situations are terrible.
nicholas supported: Governor Newsom must rescind his mandatory RTO order for California State EmployeesMy position requires me to primarily interact with other agencies and the public; being in the office reduces my ability to accomplish my duties and decreases efficiency. I live in the area where I permit projects and my office is over 70 miles away. It doesn’t make sense for me to commute to an office in an area where I don’t need to be.
