[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My agency was 80% telework for years, including Trump 1.0. We didn't have the physical space (in a private building) and still don't have space (just moved this fall to another private building with a smaller footprint based on pre-pandemic plans of 80% telework).  Assume there are occupancy laws that can't force us all into a space meant for 25% of us at any given time?[/quote]

Forcing the government to spend more money for physical office space because of unnecessary return to office would be the most Trump/DOGE thing imaginable.[/quote]
I don't know how many times this needs to be said before you all get it, but RTO is being used to shrink the size of the federal workforce.  It's not the being in the office is more efficient, or costs less; it's that there will be attrition, people who leave won't be replaced, and federal programs will suffer. That's not an unintended consequence, it's the point.  That's why all of you who are in remote locations, not WFH in near your office, are in danger - you're the most likely to quit.  That you are competent and perform valuable functions doesn't matter at all.  [/quote]

Of course the reality is the people who will bail are those with the most options, meaning educated and experienced workers.  You don't necessarily want to hang onto just those who are desperate enough to stay when the conditions are terrible.  [/quote]
