Prediction: Teleworking for Fed Gov Employees
The biggest danger to the United States government has not been terrorist attacks, but snow.
- Paraphrase from Anon on Twitter
The Problem: A Closed Federal Government
9/11 didn’t stop the federal government from functioning, but a series of snowstorms have. Weather?! Really, in this day and age, you’d think we’d have conquered it all, but humans haven’t
The Solution: Teleworking
It costs about $100 million per day to shut down the government, so get ready to see some taxpayer outrage. This is wasted money. So here’s a wild prediction:
There is going to be a BIG move to get government workers telecommuting capabilities. (Not so wild after all).
To be fair, some government employees can telework, but many (including me) can’t.
The Catch: It’s Costly
Teleworking capabilities can also be expensive for those dealing with sensitive information. Classified info can’t be handled on a civlian laptop. Nope. A government issue ($$) laptop with top-notch encryption software ($$$) must be handed out.
So get ready for this move acquisition professionals.
Thoughts????
