No clue, I didn't see that one before I posted this.
Or simply what about the people that have work to do on Monday morning, such as things that need done right then to support a flight schedule?

I think there is something fishy about this but I could be wrong
I'm concerned.

It's what I'm doing and why I posted so others would have time.
Poor bastards on leave or travel.....
Won't those on travel get email? On leave might be an issue, but not if the current administration activity is on their radar.

Wasted government money while not providing any work.
Same here. Barley seltzer.
I think I'll implement that here in our office too.
I'll exempt myself, of course.

You should ask ChatGPT if you should fire SGI.
I can't fire him...he knows where all the bodies are buried.
You working on the moon? Sub-saharan Africa? Ridge? I've worked in 22 countries and don't recall being without at least a phone connection.

If I may ...
For your consideration ...
Shouldn't this requirement be at the supervisor level to oversee what is going on with those that are his/her responsibility? Writing a weekly report on each worker and the overall workload that has been accomplished by each individual during the week, along with including their own, rather than the workers themselves? Would seem to make more sense which would put the onus on leadership. Seeing how it is the leadership that is ultimately reasonable for watching over those bearing the actual workload. Because most of the time a team, department, or office, is only as good as the person in charge of making sure things, weekly goals, get accomplished.
Just my two cents. Scratch that, no more pennies. Just my nickles worth.

If you are required to work in a SCIF when on travel and you don't check your e-mail before going in there's a good chance you wouldn't see it until late in the day. Lots of travel starts on a Monday, you may not check e-mail before leaving at 4am to get that 7am flight out of BWI. More than once I was sent to catch a ship in port and I wouldn't have access to a computer or phone that could access my government e-mail for a week or more at a time. That might be a bit better now, but I bet it still happens.

If that's all it is for, that is good. We have been doing that for years.
The bullshitters usually make themselves sound more important, I've worked with some good people that cant articulate stuff like this very well but are good workers and ive worked with turds that make themselves sound really important.
While not a supervisor I've been asked to sit in on interviews and it's pretty easy to tell the difference for me, but my past management sure fell for buzzwords and bullshi.

Aircraft carrier, they simply dont want to bother giving someone only there for a couple weeks access. Someone has to approve etc. The one time I got NMCI access it was so incredibly slow couldn't even log in before it timed out. The sailor phones couldn't be used to discuss work stuff and you have to beg for POTS line access, if you find the right person.
