🚨REMINDER🚨 STREAM LIVE @ 9AM : aper.assembly.ca.gov/hearings

When auditors asked the Governor's Office for the research behind its RTO orders, they got two articles — and no California-specific data. DGS survey data went unused. #AB1729 heads to committee tomorrow! Good policy demands #RethinkRTO. #summary:~:text=When%20we%20asked,and%20departments%20provided" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">auditor.ca.gov/reports/2024-1….

Attendance isn't the same as performance. Service quality and timely results — not desk time — should measure success. That was California's own standard when it launched statewide telework. #AB1729 gets its first committee hearing April 8. #RethinkRTO ebudget.ca.gov/2020-21/pdf/En…

State audits show telework keeps productivity stable or better. Agencies that later pushed RTO? They praised remote work in internal surveys just weeks before. #AB1729 gets its first committee hearing April 8. The data supports #RethinkRTO. sacbee.com/news/politics-…

The state was already closing offices and saving money under telework. Gov. Newsom's 4-day RTO mandate reverses that progress — and forfeits up to $225M a year in taxpayer savings. #AB1729 heads to its first .committee hearing April 8. #RethinkRTO #section2:~:text=By%20requiring%20employees,and%20associated%20costs" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">auditor.ca.gov/reports/2024-1…
