From the Wall Street Journal:
... For the first time since the pandemic, Sotheby’s invited a few dozen collectors and dealers to bid in person rather than by phone or online during live streamed auctions. ...
Longtime collector Andrew Saul, commissioner of the Social Security Administration, arrived in a dark suit and peach tie and took a spot on the second row, thumbing through the miniature catalog left in his seat. He didn’t bid but showed up because he said, “It feels so good to be back in the room again.” ...

So, apparently it is now safe to "be back in the room"...unless that room is an SSA office...doing actual work. Interesting.
Great! So he'll be returning to the Woodlawn campus in Baltimore County soon, to lead from in front, right?
He shows up for an art auction but he does not show up for work.
anon@12:51pm,
He is obviously teleworking....
Lovie those ingrates at that Social Security Blog are insulting me again just for trying to add to our modern art collection down at Sotheby's. Something to do with not spending enough time in some office somewhere helping poor disabled people or something! Don't they understand how much we have sacrificed during this pandemic not getting to bid in person! I'm late to the club!
As i have suspected all along, SSA employees engaging in regular activities but crying a river when you say return to the office.
If only the ruling class at least had come taste...
Apples vs oranges. Stop being disingenuous. Also, Saul is a plutocrat Trumpster, not an "SSA employee." Attending an art auction is not a "regular activity" for us peons.
Also, how do you think the vaccination rates compare between Sotheby's attendees and the impoverished masses that visit our offices.
Again, apples vs oranges.
