President Trump has mandated that all government employees return to their offices full time, signaling a shift in work policies. While some exemptions exist for individuals with disabilities, certain medical conditions, and military spouses, others hoping for waivers are left uncertain. The new rule reflects a broader belief, notably from Trump and figures like Elon Musk, that remote work decreases productivity, although studies suggest otherwise. Agencies are tasked with defining what constitutes a 'compelling reason' to work remotely, indicating that some employees may still find ways to avoid the mandate.
Yes, that last one is pretty vague, which is why government agencies have been told to create a short list of eligible exemptions that would allow employees to work from home.
Donald Trump, along with DOGE head Elon Musk, has been vocal about wanting government employees back in the office, because according to him, they are "less productive."
