Wiedefeld did two things that show imagination and leadership. First, he put two plus two together. Second, upon reaching a conclusion, he acted decisively.
The Office of Personnel Management is encouraging federal employees in the Washington area to telework or use other alternative workplace options during the 2016 Nuclear Security Summit. Due to security perimeters and road closures, "significant commuting delays and travel disruptions" are expected March 31 and April 1.
Non-union DISA employees have their telework days reduced, but other employees are worried they may be next.
The Office of Personnel Management announced early departure guidelines for federal employees late last night, but commuting feds are mad they may have to fight the snow on their way home.
If the monster snowstorm hits and shuts down the government, Senior Correspondent Mike Causey says key people will come into the office or work from home.
A draft policy letter obtained by Federal News Radio reduces the amount of days DISA employees are able to telework.
Telework can save hours in time spent commuting and make life a little easier for many. But, working away from the office can also have unintended consequences. Those working away from the office can find themselves disconnected from coworkers while those left in the office might find themselves alone without a coworker to turn to. Jeri Buchholz, a strategic business development adviser for FMP Consulting and former chief human capital officer at NASA, sheds some light on the subject on Federal Drive with Tom Temin.
In Federal News Radio’s two-part survey of D.C. area commuters, respondents said the concern about the detours, road closures and security perimeters implemented for Pope Francis’ visit was largely overblown and OPM was right to not close the government during his stay.

Pope Francis' visit to Washington will test not only the patience of commuters, but the teleworking system of federal agencies.
It will take a miracle to survive the commuter nightmare caused by Pope Francis' visit to Washington, says Senior Correspondent Mike Causey.
The federal government will stay open when Pope Francis visits Washington for three days later this month, but employees should telework or prepare themselves for long commutes, the Office of Personnel Management says.
The National Academy of Public Administration concludes that time-and-attendance fraud is neither widespread nor unique to teleworkers at the Patent and Trademark Office.
More and more people are finding their jobs are not only following them home, they follow them like shadows throughout their time away from work. Jeff Neal, Senior Vice President of ICF International, and former Chief Human Capital Officer of the Homeland Security Department, wonders if this constant contact with work more a burden or a blessing.
