Outrageous: 94% of Feds Work From Home

Trump puts in more hours than anyone. And besides, he’s not even being paid.

And besides that, it’s irrelevant. The spoiled, entitled Government workers need to stop whining and get their butts back to the office,

Trump visited a Trump Organization property on 428 (nearly one in three) of the 1,461 days of his presidency and is estimated to have played 261 rounds of golf, one every 5.6 days.[52]

Doesn't More Teleworkers mean Less Physical Office Space to own or lease or maintain?

Irrelevant.

Irrelevant.

youre asserting Trump is putting in long hours, but he played more golf than any president. Then there was all that executive time.

You libtards are so stupid!

Trump is volunteering his time. If all these government “workers” putting in half-days were also forfeiting their salaries, and costing the taxpayers nothing, I’d have no issue,

Sure he gets paid. He gets a check from the Treasury. Once it's his money he can do whatever he wants with it. Like donate it for the tax deduction.

Then on top of that Trump charges the Secret Service millions for hotel rooms and gulf carts at his own resorts.

Look at all the office space to provide an independent cubicle to each workers and parking space for them to get there.

All so managers can peek and see who is working

Exactly...

Sounds like we're on close-to-the-same page on this one...

If I need a physical building (complete with purchase or lease costs, maintenance, utilities, staffing, etc.) to provide office space for a gaggle of Necessary Pencil-Pushers who can do their jobs just-as-easily at home...

And therefore am able to sell-off or sub-lease the building and eliminate maintenance and staffing costs...

Given that I'm paying the same amount of salary either way...

And assuming that I have and use metrics to measure my worker-bees' productivity...

Am I not saving a $hitload of money by letting them stay at home?

Why would I want to pay 100 worker-bees $X and keep a building when I can pay them $X and get rid of the building?

More brain-dead knee-jerk reactions...

Unless... by some chance... they're looking to cut as many pencil pushers as possible and then let the rest telework after all...

Outrageous: ​

94% of Feds Work From Home​

Outrageous: 94% of Feds Work From Home

hotair.com

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.

​

~Snip~

​

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.

It's hard to believe that the azzhole's fawning worshippers actually swallow and parrot this crap.

Trump Ends Remote Work for Federal Employees​

​

In fact, more than half of the nearly 2.3 million federal workers are not even eligible to work from home at all, according to an Office of Management and Budget report released in August 2024. As of May of that year, among those eligible to telework for a portion of their hours, 61% of their working hours were spent in-person at assigned job sites. Only 228,000 — about 10% of the federal workforce — were entirely remote.

After claiming remote workers are actually golfing,
Trump again hits the links in Florida

Yeah....hard to do be a soldier from the couch. Also Federal Marshals and court reporting or forestry service have a tough time too.

USDA inspectors? They have set up cameras in food production facilities....I think they need to visually inspect at random hours for their inspections. Same with FDA to ensure guidelines and procedures are followed with surprise inspections instead of announced and coordinated visits.

Our government has been great at spending money on transgendered monkeys but lousy at hiring the people who actually matter on a daily basis.

The solution to recognizing the rights of transgender Americans is for dogmatic ideologues to deny medical expertise, just as they deny the overwhelming consensus of empirical data regarding anthropogenic climate change that climatologists have compiled.

Trump operates out of his orifice, and insists that everyone join him there.

The wife talked to one of her former co-workers and she said all FEMA employees have to go in every day now.....After nearly five years of "working" remotely.

Even before that time they only went in two days a week.....That shit is over and done with.

She told me several in her old department retired or quit.....One of them hired a year or so before the wife retired had moved better than 200 miles away.....I guess they thought that gravy train was gonna last forever.

Some jobs can be done effectively and efficiently by working remotely. Others create security problems but can be done remotely.
After Don is done with the chainsaw....I think some more well reasoned decisions will be made. But considering the crap shape our government is in....prolly gonna be a while.

Trump toadies much prefer ideologically-correct, undocumented anecdotes to empirical reality.

Their dogma tells them that the certified 2020 election was "stolen" - still with no evidence of how or by whom.

Presumably, they still believe Black immigrants in Ohio are eating pet dog and cats because that is what they were told.
