Outrageous: 94% of Feds Work From Home

I'm trying to be "Equitable".

Maybe the irony here is that based on Trumps first term, he spent 4 hours a day "working from home".

NY State employees work from home...in Florida. It's not called a no show job for nothing.

In related news showing NY is far more corrupt, guy got a sweetheart NY State appointee director job he was in no way qualified for...from his high ranking state legislator brother. Boo hoo his NY provided office at the capital was 30 minutes away and he didn't want to drive...so his high ranking brother 'rented' him an office a few minutes from his house for $50k a year in taxpayer money...the 'office rental' was owned by his brothers next door neighbor.

Ironically that sounds like a lot of Donald Trumps current nominees.

From Matt Gaetz to Pete Hegseth. Neither one has experience running even a small agency. No less one with 100,000 to 1,000,000 employees under them.

And what was your sample size?

I know one federal employee, and based on that 100% of them go to the office, 5 days a week.

I worked for the feds so its pretty much an entire agency within a dept.

And what agency are your friends from?
Since different agencies have far different requirements as far as actually being in an office.

My stock broker made me a ton of money last year, and he spent most of it working from home. Much more than the year he spent all his time in the office.

In the private sector as well. And I will always stand with the workers over the filthy management.

Workers without managers are worthless.

I know many fed employees. They all “work from home” four days a week, hogging the shady chairs at the pool and grabbing the best time slots at the tennis courts.

 

[rightwinger]

Workers without managers are worthless.

Managers without workers are worthless

 

[hadit]

Managers without workers are worthless

Of course, kind of obvious. You would think, however, that some apparently believe the management class to be worthless, based on their insipid posts.

 

[initforme]

Workers without managers are worthless.

Most all managers are worthless. Pathetic. That's why they're managers.

Try running a team, a shop, or a business without them. Let us know how long you lasted.

They usually know alot less than the guys actually doing the labor. A lot lot lot less. They are easily not needed. Can em.

 

[dblack]

Feds working from home just makes sense. If we're gonna pay people to do useless work, at least we can cut overhead and stop paying for offices for them.

Like the upper management in a corporation.

Like I said, start your own business, run your own team, etc. without managers. Tell us how long you last.

The bottom line remains, just about EVERY complaint about managers not being needed comes from workers who have no idea what it takes to be a manager.

In today's office environment, there is little need for anyone to be physically present in an office.

 

[Contumacious]

That will be up to Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy to determine

 

[Freedomisneverfree]

I spoke to someone at FEMA and she said she was working remote. Then I heard kids crying in the background.....

 

[hadit]

That will be up to Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy to determine

I would like to see them spread the federal agencies around the country. There's really no need to concentrate all that power and money in one location, ripe for terrorism.

Outrageous: 94% of Feds Work From Home

5 Dec 2024 ~~ By David Strom

The federal workforce is the equivalent of the Soviet Nomenklatura.
The big difference between the Soviet bureaucracy and the US federal bureaucracy is that a much larger percentage of the federal workforce gets the special benefits that were reserved for top Communist Party members in the Soviet Union.
The Daily Wire's invaluable reporter, Luke Rosiak, reports on the sorry state of the federal workforce and on the Department of Government Efficiency's determination to reform a broken system.

​

Bureaucrats are so entrenched that many choose not to work at all, finding creative ways to fool the few tools the government uses to ensure that absent employees are actually doing the work they are supposed to.
~Snip~
With a Republican trifecta--control over the House, the Senate, and the presidency, Republicans should be in a position to get rid of public employee unions, but don't count on this happening without a 60-vote majority in the Senate. Not only will Democrats fight and die on this hill--public employees are a key constituency of the Democrats and one of the secrets to their hold on big city politics--but chances are good that some Republicans will work to sabotage any attempt to rein in the power of government workers.
The federal government is the largest employer in the United States, and when you toss in state and local governments about 25 million are government employees, blowing away any employer in the private sector. That's a large chunk of the entire workforce and a powerful political constituency that is tied to other unions and nonprofits, all of whom would mobilize to protect their fellow union members.
~Snip~
Government is perhaps the only industry in which the bosses actively reward inefficiency. Every time a government agency fails to do its job well, Congress rewards it with a higher budget to address the issue. In the private sector, failure usually leads to restructuring; in government, failure leads to larger budgets.
Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy understand this fact very well. The real question is whether the elephantine bureaucracy can stubbornly wait them out and use inertia to blunt their efforts to prod the agencies into reform.
I don't know who to bet on. Will two of the smartest minds in America win the battle, or the agencies whose specialty is protecting its perks and pay?

Commentary:
David Strom uses the term "Work" when referring to the bureaucrats working from home.
It's no wonder that anything done by the gov't turns into a clusterfuck. We pay these bureaucrats to work every day like the rest of us, but they fail to appear much less do their jobs.
They need to get their fat asses to work!! This should be very easy for Elon and Vivek to get rid of 50% of these lazy asshats!!
Obviously most even when at their desks were not working according to reports of illegal use of federal property accessing Porn sites.

Dude....dude.....dude, they do NOT WORK from home, they SIT at home. Are Americans happy paying them to sit there, and complain? Ahhhhhhhhhh, NO! This is going to be like the easiest thing ever; and they actually believe their whining is going to score them sympathy points, hehehehehehe.

Just watch and smirk, really. They are going to be exposed and the American public is going to be so pissed, any come back they attempt is going to be nuked-) They are going to have to explain how they make 80 to 120 grand a year, and sit at home in a bubble bath!

Good luck Lefties-)
