Sharing for awareness, the USO is issuing a full RTO for HQ staff, likely to impact spouses that work for the USO.
Just got word that the USO, a pretty big MilSpouse employer, is doing a full RTO for HQ / roles not aligned to a specific base or center. My spouse works for HQ and she was instructed to move back to DC to work in person at the HQ building, time frame is May for the move, end of June to be compliant with the policy.
Exceptions are limited, and unofficially, the new CEO has allegedly stated that there are PhDs working for minimum wage in DC, to make the point that they aren’t worried about filling vacancies after people quit or are fired for noncompliance.
I care about my spouse and the MilSpouse community, and figured I should share so anyone affected has time to start preparing for either a move or a job hunt.
Let me know if you have questions and I can try to answer them the best I can. 🇺🇸
