President Trump's recent executive orders aim to terminate remote work for federal employees, affecting thousands in Arizona. The orders are designed to decrease the federal workforce, targeting what the administration calls "rogue bureaucrats and career politicians." In Arizona, nearly 11% of the federal workforce, about 13,000 employees, had been working from home, which is slightly below the national average of 12.7%. The return-to-office mandate is forecasted to complicate recruitment and retention of skilled federal employees, further emphasized by the establishment of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
Trump's return-to-office mandate is part of a broader effort by the newly formed Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to cut the size of the bureaucracy.
Experts warn that the federal government will have a tougher time attracting and retaining talented employees now that Trump ordered workers back to the office full time.
