US President Donald Trump has signed an executive order requiring federal employees to return to in-person work, effectively ending remote and telework arrangements. The order affects the government's 3 million employees, with agencies required to update their policies by January 24. This decision follows a significant shift towards remote work during the COVID-19 pandemic and may disrupt the personal and professional lives of federal workers who have adapted to flexible arrangements, impacting family dynamics and housing decisions.
"Trump's order is likely to have a dramatic ripple effect on workers' families and other life arrangements and responsibilities."
"Under guidelines released on Wednesday, federal agencies were given until 5pm local time on 24 January to update their telework policies to require all employees back in the office full-time within 30 days."
