This change comes from a memo sent out by Interim City Manager Jesus Garza informing city executives they will return to the office full time, and all other employees will do three days a week starting Oct. 1.
"I hope the city manager has seen how near and dear telework or remote work is to the city of Austin and employees and how it increases their productivity and how we need to work on a comprehensive data driven policy that includes everyone," she said.
She believes the data will show telework works for some city employees and that in office work could deter that progress.After three years of working remotely, City of Austin employees will be expected to return to the office as early as next month. "It's safer. It's good for the environment. It's increased productivity. Why? Why would you want to change that? I don't understand," said Guthrie.
Guthrie says once the data is collected, the union hopes to meet with the city and create a pathway that works for all city employees whether they want to go in office, telework, or both. "If we can meet all those three objectives over the summer, then we will be ready for October. If we cannot meet those objectives, then we won't be ready in October and I don't think the city will either," said Guthrie.DAILY NEWSLETTERthat I have read and agree
