RICHMOND, Va. (WRIC) — More than 300 employees from five state agencies have resigned since Gov. Glenn Youngkin announced Virginia’s new telework policy in early May, according to records obtained by 8News.
This includes 183 Virginia Department of Transportation employees, 28 of whom cited “telework options” as the reason for leaving. Two VDOT workers who listed telework as the reason did move to another state agency, records obtained by 8News after filing a Freedom of Information Act request show.
On May 5, Youngkin ordered all state workers to begin working in-person full-time by July 5, a change the governor said would “balance the demands of government services with the needs of our public servants.”
Other state agencies and divisions, including the Virginia Department of Health (VDH) and the Virginia Employment Commission (VEC), provided employment resignations since Youngkin’s announcement in May after 8News filed public record requests.

Sounds like a good way to get rid of 300 slackers 🤪
What the hell is Telework ?
Working from home.
Working from home is what I think it is.
Or 300 people who don’t wish to deal with traffic and $5-gallon gasoline.
It’s a start
Buh, bye.
For starters, suddenly you will be short 300 workers that provide sullen, slow, incompetent service!
I wonder how they will pay for that $5 a gal gas with no income?
Perfecto! Get the overpaid, underworked, lazy, incompetent, useless government surplus to quit! Next, cut off all welfare, employment, school enrollment access, health benefits, housing subsidies, food stamps, etc., to illegals, and they’ll do the culling thing as well.
If they are good, they’ll get another job.
Mega dittos.
Well, bye.
That’s why potholes never get filled
In the Government, it is getting paid while gardening.
And then you'll merely have the hundreds of on-site workers providing similar service.
I call that winning!
Even the people that work in our grocery stores showed up for work through the thick of it. They got no medals, appreciation from the government, nothing. They should make a federal holiday to thank them and the truckers that made it all happen.
“What the hell is Telework ?”
It’s funny that one of the most damning things you can say about someone’s performance is, “they phoned it in.” I’ve mostly seen it used when a big-name movie star takes on a role, they’re not interested in. Critics say, “he phoned it in.” I’ve also seen it when evaluating a programmer’s input.
In the old days of telework, it was made clear that working at home was not to be used for childcare. Now it is often a motive.
