In his first day in office, President Trump canceled federal remote work for vast numbers of government employees, attracting support from Republican lawmakers and corporate backers advocating for in-person mandates. This action, praised for potential productivity gains, overlooks its negative impacts, particularly for vulnerable workers. Katy Neas, a disability rights advocate, highlights the adverse effects on federal employees with disabilities, asserting that many are losing jobs not due to performance but due to rigid return-to-office policies, undermining a historically accommodating work environment for individuals with disabilities.
Really good people - who are federal employees who have disabilities - are losing their job, not because of their performance, but because of something else.
The federal government has always been a place where people with disabilities have thrived, because it's big enough that they could get health insurance, and they could get the accommodations that they need in order to be successful in the world of work.
