Governor Gavin Newsom's telework plan allowed most public employees to continue working remotely rather than returning to the office for four days a week. This decision resulted from negotiations to save parts of California's budget. While state workers expressed relief, there was criticism regarding the abrupt changes and uncertainty in planning for office returns. Some employees empathized with those who had to rearrange their schedules and noted that such bargaining allowed for controversial demands that unions may have opposed otherwise.
While many state employees expressed relief at the decision to continue teleworking, there was frustration about the abrupt changes in expectations due to last-minute negotiations.
The recent adjustments to teleworking arrangements came as part of a bargaining deal to help address California’s budget deficit, allowing many to keep remote work options.
