You're assuming they have a standard five day work week. That's not how legislative sessions work. https://history.house.gov/Institution/Session-Dates/110-Curr...

Yes but those days dont count the weekends, making it 2 weeks.

This is not 996. They may work 3 days and get 3 days off.

I was also momentarily confused by this, but I assumed they meant 4 days in the office.

Which also makes one wonder why the 2 days in office are even needed.

In effect, yes, but that's an oversimplification. This is a multi-hour/day/week/month/year conversation.

This just means you do 4, 10h days instead of 5 , 8h days. It's the same hours overall.

Easy: Get Congress to pass legislation that makes a "week" 14 days long.

Doh. You're right. I did the math with 7 day weeks.

modulus1 | karma 96 | avg karma 3.31 · | 2015-05-02 21:30:59

It's 7500/month for 5 days/week.

I feel like the "max 14 days per year" put the slam down on 2 days home / 3 days office everyone said would happen.

I was speaking with someone there a couple of months ago - they mentioned three days in the office.

pbhjpbhj | karma 20396 | avg karma 1.24 · | 2010-02-04 13:28:52+00:00

Except that they haven't. They've just been told to work on other things for 3½ days.

I like the idea though.

True, but still they would need to socielize during those weeks.

dominotw | karma 6551 | avg karma 1.27 · | 2021-07-09 17:30:46

are they trying 30h/week then? This would be nonsensical if they aren't.

hugg | karma 127 | avg karma 1.79 · | 2020-02-05 15:02:38+00:00

Well, they could just not take the days, then.

maccard | karma 10305 | avg karma 2.29 · | 2021-11-25 18:17:27

My bad, I misquoted [0] - section 1.2.2 says 28 consecutive days!

I think this is what they're banking on. They're _requiring_ 3 days but are hoping you'll realize it's easier to just give in and come to the office all 5 days.

> it’s more about an argument with NY state vs federal.

For now. Give it 3 days, a week at most.

It's 30 days including saturdays, or 5 weeks ; which means it's actually 25 days.
