But it is unclear how many total federal employees continue to telework - a statistic that Republicans have demanded to no avail.

The government can't find out where the government workers work.

Cover story for all the federal bureaucrats who died or are incapacitated after taking the kung flu shots. Of all the groups who believed the government propaganda that the kung flu shots worked, federal bureaucrats were in the front of the line.

The govt sector of DC is mostly abandoned buildings. No workers walking around. A few tourists wandering here and there. Very light traffic.

The government can't find out where the government workers work.

If you ask about why taxpayers have to carry this burden one of the 14 people working at the FBI will start an investigation...

It's no surprise that the lazy slobs in government are being lazy slobs. How many of the "remote" workers are actually doing any work? Bet the government doesn't know that number, either, nor do they care.

So they just surf porn from home now instead of the office.

[bigdaddy45]

uh.... they aren’t working. I mean they didn’t when they were actually IN offices.

Excellent time to decentralize the Federal Government. Shift all of the agencies to various locations around the country. For instance, Energy to Houston, TX; Agriculture to Kansas City, MO..etc.

I’m a federal employee working in a regional office (not DC). The unions have been successful at limiting return to the office and hybrid policies. So far, my agency is only requiring supervisors (not union protected) to return to the office, and only those who live within 50 miles of DC.

4 of my 8 direct reports opt to work in the office 1-2 days a week, and I also voluntarily go in once a week.

I think hybrid is best. The best of both worlds.

Our federal building is nearly empty and we are consolidating space at the end of the year.

A republican president would no doubt limit the union’s impact and require 2-3 days/week in the office for us. Under the Trump administration, we were required to be in the office 4 days/week.

...Department of Defense - 25%...

Huh? Why is the DoD "Main Headquarters Building Name" listed as "The Mark Center" and the address halfway to the beltway on 395?

[coalminersson]

when Ed, Hud, and Epa are closed many more vacant offiuces.

[Verginius Rufus]

They can use the empty offices to house illegal aliens. It won’t matter when they vote since DC votes 95% for the Democrats anyway.

[minnesota_bound]

Fire 50 percent of the employees. Those people who get a paycheck will then pipe up so we can know where they are working and what they do.

FTA: all federal agencies are less than 50% occupied
