Texas state employees are set to return to full-time work in the office, a directive from the governor’s office following President Trump's order for federal employees. Agency heads have been planning this transition, with some expected to implement changes by month-end. The governor's office emphasizes the importance of efficient use of taxpayer dollars, reflecting on the broader trend against remote work initiated during the COVID-19 pandemic. Concurrently, Houston's work policies are also changing under Mayor John Whitmire, highlighting a significant shift in public sector employment practices.
Texans expect their public servants to be present and engaged in the work on their behalf. State agencies have been in office, and any remote work policies must ensure taxpayer dollars are being utilized efficiently.
With remote federal workers returning to the office where possible, it's important that state agencies ensure they do the same.
The directive follows a recent order from Trump for all federal employees to return to the office and end remote work arrangements.
Both Trump and Elon Musk, who has been tasked with slashing budgets at federal agencies, have expressed disdain for remote work.
