Summary
Vivek Ramaswamy, alongside Elon Musk, plans to push federal workers back to the office full-time, aiming to reduce telework and downsize bureaucracy.
Ramaswamy claims requiring in-office attendance could lead to a 25% reduction in federal staff.
Critics, including federal worker unions, argue many jobs, such as healthcare and law enforcement, don’t qualify for telework and warn the move may hurt recruitment and retention.
Meanwhile, costly underused federal office space has drawn attention, with many agencies utilizing only a fraction of their space.
As always, this is just cover to force people to quit and not give severance. It’s a layoff without having to call it a layoff.
It’s not even a cover, it’s the stated intention. They want a reduction in staff.
25%, literally what they say they want.
Got to appease those shareholders and make the stock go up.
Wait…
I know I’d like to start seeing some dividends (UBI).
