DDR DEMANDS that federal workers get their fat BUTTS back into the office in-person or else they will be fired. Feds of /r/fednews mourn the coming end of WFH.

Annoyingly, the article fails to point out that for some of those AFGE covered folks, telework several days a week has been a thing for around two decades and isn't a COVID era thing at all.

"errrrrrrmmmm akshully telework was a thing before the trump admin started on jan 20 2017...."

I don't think Trump, Musk, Ramaswamy, and Project 2025 care about nuance.

This is all Starve the Beast bullshit. They want people to quit and they want to fire people because they think it'll open the door to privatize government agencies, allowing them to profit and give lucrative contracts to their friends while loudly proclaiming how inefficient the government, which they control, is. Telework is just a way to attack federal workers who would otherwise be difficult to fire and to make people quit.

Some people running the government do not know or care how the government actually runs. They just want to stay in power, reward donors, gain easy votes, and avoid doing icky work like researching, negotiating, drafting legislation (so much easier when donor PACs do it for you), and taking advantage of the government benefits they claim to despise.

I mean, once Trump is in the WH, isn't he technically WFH too?

"Heh.....Trump is ALSO a remote worker. Checkmate, chuds"

I work with people across the country 80% of my day. Why does it matter if I'm on Zoom meetings in home or the office? These people are so disconnected from reality.

Also, my agency's building can't support everyone returning 5 days a week.

They aren't out of touch, they are intentionally malicious. Every decision, act, or tweet of the incoming administration has the intended consequences of making the government inefficient and less effective.

An inefficient and crippled administrative state is much easier to exploit than a working one.

they are STILL trying to make us a fascist state. Google Project 2025.

He will literally be working from home for the next four years.

I wonder how treating the federal government like Twitter will work out

The government will collapse. Inshallah!

Efficiency was nice while it lasted

"Efficiency"

Suddenly, a thousand people with remote RAs on the books googled disability retirement paperwork attorneys

Return-to-office is LITERALLY activating my chronic ADD pain disorder.

I am in my office- it would just happen that my duty station is my home… so I can return to my home for work?

well, it's not that easy.

I'll work at my office more days than Trump works in the White House.

Don't forget to schedule your "executive time"

Is that where I watch Fox News and post on Truth Social?

What about workers who were hired into remote positions?

Guess they'll just die.

This b-word spent like 75% of his time, "on the clock" at that McDonald's infested heck hole he calls a resort and he has the audacity to worry about people teleworking.

Frick him

THIS FRICKING ASSNUGGET SHITGOBLIN FRICKTWAT IS ASSTURDLING HIS SHITGIBBON BUTT AT THE MCDONALD'S. FRICK HIM.

Says the guy who will be literally living in his work place.

I live 10 minutes away from my office, so I'm like whatever. The Trump-voting coworkers who live an hour or more away, thou, I'm sure will be most joyful at getting just what they voted for. Good for them!

Make sure to smile when they walk in the door that first day! Tell them how happy you are to see their smiling faces!

>they think rightoids are upset that Drumpf will be reducing le government size

When did RTO become so important to repugs? I know they don't give one shit about employee well-being but what about other things like better commutes for everyone that does have to go in or energy independence. We'll be needlessly burning millions of gallons of oil every day for zero purpose.

It's because they want people to quit I think

It actually says that in the article, that DOGE recommended RTO to get people to quit which they welcome.

😡🤬

GRRRRRR HOW I HATE THOSE FREAKING RETHUGLIKKKANS

Good job, people who voted for this. Hope you get what you deserve.

!chuds laugh at fedcels pooping and chimping out thanks to Dangerous Donald.
