Already on the WH website. Where are they getting these numbers?!?!

The 6% is false. It’s from a report by Joni Ernst, who got the number from a voluntary survey about opinions on telework from federalnewsnetwork.com. Of the people who responded, only 6% never teleworked. It’s not even remotely a representative sample, and it completely contradicts OPM’s actual data, which show half of all fed employees aren’t even eligible to telework or work remotely, and that those who do overwhelmingly come into the office multiple times a week.

This is a thread about all executive orders. Don’t tell people what to discuss within that category.

Am I the only one who thinks this is actually a positive sign for continued telework?

All he has to do is set a target to get 75% of people in office and he can check it off the list as mission accomplished without ever doing anything.

Transitioning federal health insurance to a voucher model.-WHAT IS THIS?

Unions and collective bargaining
Efforts to weaken federal unions are central to the administration’s goals. A memo circulated by the conservative group Americans for Tax Reform outlines plans to limit collective bargaining rights, citing a 1978 law allowing exclusions for “national security concerns.”

Recommendations include restricting union protections at agencies like the Department of Veterans Affairs, the Transportation Security Administration, and the Defense Department.

Every employee would get a flat amount towards insurance instead of covering a percentage of whatever you choose the way it is now. Not sure if they would cover more for family plans or not.

You are right, and this is starting to happen with private companies. Look up “ICHRAs”. You get a flat dollar amount, go onto the exchange and pick whatever works for you. Companies that aren’t rotten to the core will kick in more for family coverage. Pricing is of course dependent on age and who you’re covering.

But Trump is ending Obamacare exchange…

+1. Let’s go with the 6% number and when the actual numbers are reported, it’ll look like a win, and they’ll leave us alone.

This is the Jobs forum so should at least stick with EOs related to federal employment, not immigration, etc.

Trump really is a useful idiot.

He will be able to declare victory over the Feds next week when some conservative authority champions the actual amount of telework (giving Trump credit, of course) and then the MAGAs can leave us alone.

how does he get away with lying about this? OPM collects actual data

I’m not sure why I’m surprise but I expected him to actually sign some EOs at 12:01. I guess he’d too lazy/ADHD for that.

He has started signing. Nothing about federal employees get.

I’m probably naive, but a part of me is holding out hope that all this lying/crap talking about feds will eventually lead to a new outlook on the civil workforce.

Trump will shake his fist and pretend to come in and take all these drastic actions (like increasing in-person work from 6%) allegedly getting rid of all the deadweight, etc. And then he’ll brag about how he has made us into the hugest most beautiful labor force there has ever been.

I mean if he is still talking about how awful we are another 12-18 months from now, then that won’t look very good on his administration. At some point he has to claim victory over cleaning up the federal workforce. (Or so I’m trying to believe).
