Former NFL player Michael Strahan confronted White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt regarding President Trump's policy to end remote work for federal employees on "Good Morning America." Strahan raised concerns that this decision might lead to experienced professionals, like doctors and scientists, leaving their positions, which would ultimately hurt the workforce. In response, Leavitt emphasized the productivity benefits of in-office work, asserting that American taxpayers deserve accountable employees. Leavitt's comments followed a statement proposing buyouts for workers who do not wish to return to traditional office settings.
Leavitt: "We know that employees are more productive and more efficient when they are working in an in-office environment and that's what this administration expects."
Strahan: "But is there any concern we risk losing people with years of experience like doctors and - and let's say scientists?"
Leavitt concluded, "Don't forget it's the American people funding this government. They deserve people who are actually showing up to work on their behalf."
Leavitt discussed a proposed buyout for federal workers who prefer not to return to in-office work, reinforcing the administration's commitment to efficiency.
