We've been blessed with two months of meltdowns from the feds (and former feds 
) all over reddit, twitter etc.
But did you know that's there's another group of government employees melting down 
?
California government employees have been freaking out... not over being laid off or being asked to quit, but from something much more horrible.... Coming into the office 4 days a week 
Gavin Newsom issued an executive order stating that they need to be in the office 4 days as week, up from 2 currently, by July.
Naturally, there have been many theories about why this terrible news has come to pass.
Theory 1: Newsom is in cahoots with realstate owners and local businesses to boost the value of downtown Sacramento (probably true)
Theory 2: Newsom is positioning himself as blue DOGE in order to help his 2028 presidential ambitions.
The last theory: that perhaps they were not very efficient while working at home has not been entertained.
Really the entire sub has been good, but here are some choice threads:
the one person in the thread with a brain points out how this makes them look

Can someone explain what the frick " Must be fabulous to not spend 1/6th of your net pay on aftercare because someone with much clearly better material conditions than you just feels like sending you back today." means

I'm pretty sure they are r-slurred and meant to say childcare and not aftercare.
Or they're a degen who uses the term "aftercare" a lot and got the words mixed up in their mind.
The quote you shared makes more sense through the lens of "it must be rich and not have to worry about childcare when someone forced you to go to the office".

Yeah "after school care" I guess. You'd have to be pretty un-degen to screw that up tbh.
