Meet 28-year-old Nicole Gillespie, an employee of the state of New Mexico whose work includes policy analysis and public information although as investigative reporter Larry Barker discovered, the public may have a hard time finding her.

@@liambenyamin5482 Yeah...right...sure she is. Yes, never confuse the two of how that if women TRULY do work harder than men for less...apparently that's not happening in this case! and the math? (scoffing)...what math?! all that is seen here is that she's telecommuting from more than 3 freaking states away for a state job that she's NOT even in the relative state here to begin with! How can a telecommuting "state employee" be so trustworthy? is the woman interviewed by Larry here directly supervising ALL of her work she is supposedly completing? what about corrections or clerical mistakes she makes? is that being looked at or just lazily being approved to add more to the scam or hidden agenda? How can anyone respect someone like that in the first place? And bashing? HA!...she probably performs the very bare minimum at her job to slide by as to whoever would possibly be looking at her work and productivity. She probably can't even perform the work of 3 employees in the same dept. that she's in.

This didn't age well. Funny now in post-covid times, many states are all remote in these admin type roles, including mine. My coworker lives half of the country away. Kind of odd I'll never meet her in person, but she either does the job or doesn't. If the results aren't there, she will be let go like anyone else here. Even in the office, I would spend 100% of my day on email, phone, chat. Zero reason to be there. Here's the benefit to the citizens: we're selling the old office building, and many others, losing the extra expense. And as the states largest employer, we've got thousands of less people clogging up the interstate everyday. Welcome to the 21st century. For better or worse.

We have more than 60 yrs of research that tells us people can justify personal wants over others needs if they are not faced with the impact of those decisions constantly. Every 4 yrs or the occasional angry tweet do not effectively mitigate the barrage of special interest and power plays people in DC. face at every single interaction with another human being.

Saves time and transportation expenses and the company needs less expensive real estate in Times Square. She does have to go to the city about every 4 to 6 week to access secure documents or to have her computer security updated. She can work anywhere there's a good internet connection and a cell signal. Down side is she has to file income taxes for every state she works in. One year she had to pay California .12 cents.
