A neat idea in theory, but it might just create a pay penalty for flexible work, no matter the output.

Why should teleworkers pull less weight and get the same raise? Accountability matters.

Is this about saving taxpayer dollars or just sending a message that office chairs trump kitchen tables?

Denying raises to remote workers is a pay injustice disguised as budget discipline—remote lives matter too.

Enough with rewarding clock-watchers behind screens; this bill puts pay where the work gets done.
