Lawmakers discussed a GOP-backed bill mandating full-time, in-person work for state employees, with Rep. Amanda Nedweski emphasizing concerns about productivity and cybersecurity risks associated with remote work. The bill, if passed by the GOP-majority legislature, faces a likely veto from Democratic Gov. Tony Evers, who argues that flexible work arrangements attract talent. The proposal allows exceptions for telehealth and pre-pandemic off-site work, and potential enactment of the requirements would begin on July 1.
"Simply asking employees to return to the work routine they enjoyed prior to the pandemic is not only fair - it is representative of what the public is demanding."
"Nothing, and I mean nothing, can replace the face-to-face experience when coaching or developing or creating something with humans."
