Oak Ridge, D.C. get telework snow day

By ExchangeMonitor

Feds and contract workers at both the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge Site in Tennessee and its headquarters offices in Washington, D.C., are having their Tuesday work schedules affected by a winter storm.

The DOE’s Y-12 National Security Complex at Oak Ridge will remain on “maximum telework status” for Jan. 16, Y-12 managers announced via a Monday evening post on the social media platform X. Likewise, the Oak Ridge National Laboratory will be closed due to hazardous road conditions, lab managers said in a post. Lab staff that can work from home are expected to do so.

Finally, federal DOE workers in Washington, D.C., won’t necessarily have to shovel out their driveways this morning. The Office of Personnel Management said in an online posting that federal offices around the District of Columbia are closed today with maximum telework in effect.

Both Oak Ridge and Washington received snow on Monday and Monday night.
