Employees of the Agriculture Department are facing confusion and chaos due to a recent directive from President Trump requiring them to return to in-person work. However, shortly after reporting back, they discovered that the government's lease on their office would be canceled in the spring, creating uncertainty about where to work. Many employees are now struggling with inadequate workspace and the logistics of returning to in-person duties without a designated office. This situation is compounded by anxiety over previous staff reductions and ongoing layoffs.
"We don't really know what this means, but we can't telework, and we aren't going to have an office in a couple of months?"
"The mandate has led to a great deal of chaos, with many employees currently required to report in person... while the Federal Emergency Management Agency directed managers to flip a coin to resolve conflicts over scarce workspaces."
