Defense Department employees returning to a Midwest Army base are finding their offices ill-prepared for their return, with overcrowding, limited facilities, and insufficient supplies affecting productivity and morale. Overflowing parking, cramped workspaces, and outdated sanitary conditions have left personnel frustrated, often leading them to perform better from home. With concerns about health risks and a lack of resources, many employees have become disengaged from their work, raising questions about the efficiency of a hurried return to office environments after extended telework.
"We honestly get way more done at home than at the office, but those are facts and no one seems to want to know facts anymore," a Defense Department employee said.
Employee morale has cratered as individuals juggle long commutes and child care headaches, with many giving up on extra work outside of office hours.
