If you were forced back into the office 5 days a week, would you quit or stick it out? Apparently that's what they are counting on to downsize departments.

I’m going to stick it out. I refuse to contribute to the brain drain that this is going to cause — if they want me gone they’ll have to fire me. My commute is about 35-40 minutes each way, which is doable. I also lucked into a non-supervisory GS-15 role that I really don’t want to give up.

I just need to hang on for 2 years to get my student loans forgiven and then I was going to be starting to monitor for new opportunities but at 5 days per week, I'd probably plan to leave the instant I hit my 120 payments. Would suck but I'm thankfully not terribly far from my office. If I had to go from the outer DC suburbs to DC idk if I could manage that 5 days a week.

I am an associate at an AM200 firm and was (IMO) very clear prior to accepting this role that I value work-life balance and wanted to try to keep work at night on the weekends to a minimal, but since February, it seems like it’s always something that requires my time as needed disregarding “business hours” or my personal schedule. Thoughts on whether to bring this up or continue to be a team player until I burn out and pay off my student loans?

Do Leidos, SAIC, and other mostly-fed consulting businesses pay bonuses to all levels? If so, what does a typical bonus target look like? Booz Allen does not pay bonuses until you get to the Senior Associate level (1 step below Director) and I think that impacts employee performance and work ethic pretty dramatically. I’m wondering if not paying bonuses is common to federal contracting because of how the contracts or priced, or if this is something unique to Booz Allen.
