I’ve been hearing concerns that California’s next governor may not support telework for state employees.
Does anyone know where he actually stand on telework and RTO for state workers?
After everything state employees have been dealing with under the current RTO policy, I really want to understand whether there’s any possibility of a different approach under the next administration.
Has anyone seen statements from the candidates about telework, hybrid schedules, or the current RTO mandate?

Before all of this, I used to feel incredibly lucky and happy to be a state employee. I was grateful for my job and genuinely enjoyed what I did. But these past few months have completely changed how I feel.
Pay cuts and the four-day RTO has taken a toll on me mentally and physically, and it has started affecting so many other areas of my life. I know I can’t be the only one feeling exhausted, stressed, and just worn down by the uncertainty of everything.
At this point, I just want some kind of conclusion. Whether things change or they don’t, I think a lot of us just want to know where this is ultimately going so we can make our own decisions about what we want to do next.
I’m curious how everyone else is feeling now that we’ve been living with this for a while.

With the 4-day RTO now in place and all the union discussions, possible actions, and uncertainty around it, what do you realistically think is going to happen from here?
Do you think 4 days in office is here to stay, or is there a realistic chance we eventually get reduced to 2 days? I know nobody can predict the future, but I’m curious what other state employees genuinely think the outcome will be once all of this plays out.
