Ending federal telework is gaining traction among Republican lawmakers, aiming to return federal employees to physical offices and reduce the workforce, reflecting dissatisfaction from the pandemic's changes.
Sen. Ron Johnson highlights the emphasis on attendance, stating, 'That'd be my first cut, right there. Focus on people not showing up for work.' His remark underscores a foundational issue.
Sen. Ted Cruz suggests that eliminating telework will lead to increased voluntary attrition, stating, 'It will have an effect of accelerating attrition, and that attrition is self-selected.'
House Speaker Mike Johnson indicates urgency for action, emphasizing that the return of federal workers to their desks will be among the administration's first priorities.
