How many are collecting Govt paychecks doing nothing

[beagle9]

federal employees. You are like the other guy on here that wants to fire 100% of them and then rehire them 3 months later at half pay.

No I'm not...Stop gaslighting..

Human beings whether children or not still need to interact with each other, because one can lose their skills or character if locked down, works from home, becomes introverted, anti-socialble, left to one's own devices etc. etc. etc.

Adult humans have plenty of ways to get human interaction.

Statistics On Remote Workers That Will Surprise You (2025 )

Since the first quarter of 2020 years ago, remote work trends and expectations have changed. Employers weren’t prepared for their entire workforce to work from home but thanks to technology and innovation it’s working out well for many employers. All around the world, more and more employers are...

PwC conducted a similar survey of 1,200 US office workers and 120 executives in 2020. 73% percent of those executives surveyed found that working remotely has been a success.

PwC survey also found that 72% of those workers surveyed would like to continue working from home for at least 2 days a week even when they can go back to the office full time. 32% said they would like to work from home permanently.

The same executives in the PwC survey expected to need 30% less office space in the next three years.

On a more personal experience...

My BIL has been working from home for more than 20 years. He has not had an office to to go during that whole time. He worked for ATT as a telecom engineer. When they downsized they got rid of all of them and contracted the work out. His last day with ATT was a Friday and on Monday he was working for the same person, but was now a contractor instead of an ATT employee. Over the last 20ish years he has had a few different employers, but has never had to go to an office the entire time.

The 72% and their thinking seems reasonable to me.

Long as it's not the wrong interaction or distractions yes. The isolated mind is the devil's playground.

Unless of course they work for the Govt.

I get nothing from the government. I pay $145 a month Medicare premium and receive my Social Security, which is my money.

Alas, premiums only finance 25% of the cost of Medicare Part B and 15% of Part D. They're sort of like when state Medicaid programs make beneficiaries pay a token premium--a nice gesture, but not really a financing mechanism.

The reality is that Medicare and Social Security beneficiaries are getting out significantly more than they paid in.

Opinion | No, Social Security Isn’t ‘Earned’

Promised benefits are far in excess of lifetime payroll taxes. That’s a compelling case for reform.

How about if I've been paying since 1965. If I had put that money in the bank drawing interest all those years, how much would I have?

Long After COVID Pandemic Ended, Not One Federal Agency Has More than 50% of Its Staff at Office

The Subcommittee on Government Operations and the Federal Workforce held a hearing on how productive teleworking employees were. It went as you might expect.

Seems like a lot of equivocating instead of answering. People need to be fired at the top. Whole govt is waste on a grand scale

The Biden regime should be fired

Same with the Healthcare Savings Account (HSA), where as right now I have a significant amount in that savings program, but if I would have had such a program at both my careers for the 40+ year's of work in my life, and especially if it would have been active the entire time, then I actually could retire on it just like a 401k or other type of retirement benefit today.

Quick fast and in a hurry, and especially before any more catastrophic events happen either here or out in the world. Everything they touch seems to turn to shite quickly. FACT.
