The article discusses how Heather Ferbert, the new City Attorney of San Diego, approved an unusual remote work arrangement for her deputy, Jean Jordan, allowing her to work from a cruise. This decision follows complaints about Jordan's extended absence while still receiving full pay. The City Attorney's Office stated that sufficient oversight ensured no disruption occurred during this period, illustrating both the flexibility and challenges associated with remote work in professional settings, especially in government roles.
As the head of an independent city department, the city attorney has the authority to allow temporary teleworking arrangements for office employees on a case-by-case basis.
In this case, the city attorney thoroughly examined the job responsibilities of the position and determined that all required work could be performed remotely on a temporary basis with no impact on office operations.
