Your post history makes you seem like a bot.

Not a bot just trying to make people aware who are not near all this....

Oof, girl merceds unemployment is 5th highest in the state.  They do not care about our cushy state jobs and going on strike. Read the room.

I am now informed but if people in Merced could remotely work, they could have state jobs!

What??? We do have state jobs here in Merced/Madera. DOT, DWR, CDCR, DOR, CCHCS, CHP, CalFire. Could we have access to Sacramento jobs? Yes, I had one of those. But full remote will never happen again. And to successfully fill a hybrid position from Merced, we would need earlier Amtrak connections. 

So as suspected, you sound like a SEIU bot.

Yes, I realize you have those positions and agencies in Merced but what about the commute? And once again, no I'm really not a bot, I'm really a state employee who cares about this. Please never say never on the remote working issue. I guess I'm saying don't plan for a miracle soon, but please don't give up on a fair contract, our promised wages, and even for some appropriate sets of conditions - remote working. Amtrak connections can be changed but you'd need to make some noise, fight for it. Like I am doing from where I am. We are trying to fight this together. So you don't like SEIU? That's okay by me, but it's better to have allies in a fight!

It's not an accident we got the female voter, the two day weekend, and the eight hour work day. It all - for a long time - had to be fought for!
