[QUOTE="CHenry, post: 3604921, member: 6281"] While I agree with some of this, not all ODOT employees are/can work at home. Some are doing partly home and partly in office while about 40% I would estimate, are still full time in the office now. When in history have we seen a government shrink its forces? I am doing QAQC for consultant plans now and I do not need to be in the main office to perform those duties. When I was doing scoping, I needed to be present in the office and in the field meetings more. The powers that be decided each EM can do their own scopes which is a mistake if you ask me because that is what we moved away from 22 years ago and we had better consistency with the Scoping branch, much better. But I digress. Consultants are doing more and more because we simply have more money for more projects than we did 20 or 30 years ago and our forces cant handle that load with our current FTEs. But I could be wrong. Nontheless, I can retire any day I wish so whatever happens, I will be fine. Is there any hiring for experienced people where you are employed? [/QUOTE]
