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:
