    Five Million dollars per agency. Chump change. OF course that will not motivate any agency head. Now if it, say, limited SES awards and bonuses to a maximum of say $100.00 per person per year if an effective telework system is not set up, then it may motivate. Or say take the $5 million out of every budget which is over $20 million, then you might get attention. But $5M? Naw, each agency will spend far more than that on the inauguration.

    I work for a service and we never have been asked about telecommuting. When we asked for flexible work hours we were told no because that would require the managers to know when we were going to be here. Pretty lame. If we telecommuted the managers would not have anyone to look at and therefore nothing to do.

    After considerable consideration, I think the managers should telecommute - all my work activity is via e-mail from an office ten feet away!
