why federal employees and not the private sector? oh right you want to fire half of the first group.
Anyone wanna bet on how many days Trump is at Mar-a-Lago during his presidency?
Honestly, I’ll be surprised if he spends more than a few days at the White House.
“Requiring federal employees to come to the office five days a week would result in a wave of voluntary terminations that we welcome”. this is and was always the reason american businesses were eager to force everybody back tp work. eat the rich.
I agree! If Elon musk cannot show up to his offices at Tesla, SpaceX, Twitter, xAI, and Washington for 8 hours Monday-Friday, he should be fired without severance as CEO or co-chair of his government department.
Rules for thee, not for me.
Unless Musk somehow copied himself several times, he is working remote for most of his companies each day.
ROFL.
That’s hilarious. You actually think Musk works?
He does some work.
Don’t forget the shitty sub he designed
Guessing he designed the “Hyperloop” too. Ie. The single car wide tunnel that is prone to jame during car failure and it’s claustrophobic
He probably considered designing the cyber truck to be work.
He got to pick the color of the paint.
lol 😂
Only on his Diablo progression…
You know he’s a swiper anyway…
Sadly, tweeting is part of his job of owning Twitter.
naw. that’s him trying to cosplay as a human.
So the government telling businesses how they have to operate is small government now?
So small it’ll fit right in your vagina.
I assume they mean all government positions. Hey look at that it’s in the headline
Oh we’re well beyond “small government” at this point.
Why? I think businesses should be left alone to decide.
They’re talking about federal employees
Fuck you both
Then they aren’t really about efficiency, are they? When properly set up, WFH for office work is very effective and efficient.
Agreed 100%. I used to work a hybrid schedule and I was much more efficient when I was at home and could be both relaxed and not distracted or annoyed by coworkers.
But think of the billions of dollars of now unused office space. That’s horrible for real estate pricing, which is where many of these fucks are invested.
It’s not even a real estate issue sometimes. I worked in an office in an industrial facility- printing custom boxes. Everyone in an office job was on a hybrid schedule. No one’s job required them to be at the office. All conversations were by Slack, all meetings were by Zoom even if we were all in the office. They could have knocked down the office space and put in at least two more industrial printers. Considering how backed up we got around Christmas, that would have helped them.
Some of this is just old assholes who think people need to be in the office all the time so they can watch them or something. I don’t know.
At least they didn’t make me wear a tie.
And billions of barrels of oil no longer being used and going to waste from all the travel not happening and extra heat needed.
Efficient for whom? The rich all have millions invested in commercial real estate so if it’s not about voluntary resignations it’s about that.
they already said it themselves: “Requiring federal employees to come to the office five days a week would result in a wave of voluntary terminations that we welcome” so no, it was never about efficiency. at all.
Don’t you love when someone from outside talks big shit pretending to know what YOUR job is and determining its not needed?
Almost like firing people based on code written didn’t backfire last time…
Working from home for all jobs that it is compatible with should be a mandate to help lower the amount of gas necessary for commuting.
Yep but that means you’re not buying gas, which is a crime
Exactly! People died for this gas, don’t you care???
That hurts their profits
And avoiding government inefficiency, exactly what their dept is actually supposed to be advising on
To help bring good jobs to rural locations, that’s how you convince people
god I fucking hate these people. Pure fucking hatred.
At least they’re open about it: The entire point (according to them) is attrition. The actual plan is to make work for these people much more hostile so they quit.
Do you think our tax bills will drop if they succeed in forcing these million employees to quit?
They said they want to run the government like a business, and it looks like that’s what they’re pursuing. Unfortunately, that just means they’ll give us the lowest quality service at the highest possible price.
They said they want to run the government like a business,
In other words: terribly. They want to run the government terribly, exactly how business runs in this country.

We owe commercial real estate investors exactly jacksh’t. This is, at least in part, about securing income for commercial landlords. Their “jobs” aren’t any more precious than anyone else’s jobs that are being impacted hard by this changing era. If they would like to fill their buildings, they can fork over some cash to convert parts of them to housing.
Not landlords. About securing investments in commercial real estate.
Which given its traditional status as a rock solid baseline for investors, its not at all surprising that two rich fuckers are pushing hard to shore up commercial real estate. It probably makes a significant part of their investments.
It did seem weird to me that Harris or any of the other democratic candidates campaigned on remote work. Seems like a smart pro-worker position to take that would directly impact a group she was trying to court: college educated professionals who skew male. Plus lower environmental impact, cheaper gas, more opportunities for working parents, etc.
The cynical reason I assume it wasn’t a talking point is because the 1% who directed the media conversation had a vested interest in return to pre-Covid status quo.
“The Deep State appreciates your hard work, know how, and dedication. Come work for us from home and help stymie the Shallow State”
