Kelly Loeffler, newly confirmed head of the Small Business Administration, urged employees to return to their offices as most were still working from home. Her call followed President Trump's directive to resume in-person work. The video tour she released revealed empty offices, prompting critiques on the effectiveness of remote government work. Elon Musk echoed concerns regarding employee accountability, while some defended working-from-home policies as essential for family support. Republican lawmakers urged Loeffler to address allegations of mismanaged COVID relief funds during her tenure.
"The problem with work from home in the federal government is that the employees cannot be fired," former Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Interior Department, Jeremy Carl, wrote on X Saturday. "When you don't have to show up to the office, and there is no accountability for your performance [and] that is a recipe for disaster."
"This is one of the worst Trump policies" Matson wrote. "There used to be one parent at home and one that worked. Now, both parents must work to survive."
