  1. Governor who insists the state build a helipad on his property at taxpayer expense because he doesn’t want for move to Indianapolis (when he knew that was part of the job when he ran for it) … insists no one else works from home. What a guy.

    1. Telesham has been a waste of taxpayer dollars. Limited accountability and positions that should not be allowed to telework, were. It was supposed to last during Covid only. Its gone on too long

    2. Fine. Explain how the governor works for us from Jasper.

      “ Employees shall work full time in an assigned office, facility, or field location and not from a remote location unless the agency head has determined remote work is required either full-time or on an ad hoc basis to accomplish specific operational objectives.”

      Braun is the worst type of boss – expects from others what he exempts himself from.

  2. Raymond, only work that requires direct face-to face or hands on interaction, such as certain taxpayer services positions (eg. DMV counter) or construction or healthcare or legal trial work need to be in-person.

    There is no reason for the state of Indiana to waste taxpayer dollars on leasing or, in the case of government owned properties, maintaining unnecessary office space just to preserve the ritual of having people add wear and tear to our roads commuting each day to an office solely for being “seen.”

    Either you do your job and your productivity supports you are doing it, or if you aren’t performing, then should be formerly warned and put on a plan with hard deadlines, and if you do not make timely and adequate improvement, you should be terminated.

    It should not matter *where* you do your work for *most* jobs, so long as your work gets done timely, efficiently, and meeting quality expectations. We all have seen the coworkers who “show up” to an office each day but get very little work done. So, all this whining about how remote work allows under-performance is just nonsense.

    Also, many employers allowed for remote work long before Covid.

    The other issue is arbitrarily prohibiting remote work limits the pool of candidates to choose from to fill a job. If someone living in Lafayette or Merrillville can remotely do excellent work for a particular state position, why cut them out of consideration and narrow your candidate pool to only individuals living in Indianapolis and its suburbs?
