If the job is getting done, why do you care?
An employee working on a computer in a cubicle vs working on a computer at home
Why does that upset you?

Because they’re petty, labor hating assholes.
And when you’re paying someone to do a job, you have the right to make that person as miserable as you possibly can just so you can get your money’s worth.
That's fine....there are ways to cut, and times to cut, in both private and public sectors.
And some jobs can be done at home and MEASURED for the worker's productivity at home vs when done in the office...
And production protocols can be developed for a job sector of remote workers, that justifies pay....meeting or improving selling costs needed to support the position....at home or in office.
Eventually, employees will be paid differently upon hire....employee choice of being an office employee vs a remote employee will be done upfront....
The big jobs, are usually done onsite, for the ease and promotion of the exchange of ideas on the fly....
Most remote at home jobs, are clerical or customer service in nature, jobs that can be measured daily, by what they produce....or phone calls handled per avg day, in the case of customer service.
Exactly. As a consultant, though, I do get to charge for commute time if I need to go onsite anywhere. And I think city politicians are going to have to reimagine all that office space that isn't needed as much anymore.
And duplication. There are multiple agencies that do largely the same thing. They could be combined and cut back with no loss of service.
How are you so sure the boss is doing their job?

If the boss is happy that’s all that matters.

What’s the job? What are the services provided we just can’t live without? At a minimum we have 50% of the government employees doing nothing of value. Shit can them.
Must be the general consensus over VA.

Outrageous:
94% of Feds Work From Home5 Dec 2024 ~~ By David Strom
Outrageous: 94% of Feds Work From Home

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.
And Jesse Watters has been reporting that some of those who have been reporting to work are having sex orgies and such on the job.
If there is no way to make federal emloyees return to work due to Biden's meddling, they should just shut down and sell off all the government buildings and establish one central building with conference rooms to use when face to face meetings are necessary. That would allow them to lay off most maintenance and security personnel over the vast government complex. But visual communications, and verifiable productivity should be strictly monitored to ensure we are getting an hour's legitimate work for an hour's pay.
The VA.
That Ernst report I mentioned said one of the biggest problems with WFH responses was with vets seeking mental health help..... virtually no responses to messages left.

I worked 40 years for the Federal Government
The sex orgies were the reason I stuck around
Except for a summer job with the New Mexico State Police, some contract work running surveys for the city and county, and as a volunteer at polling places, I've never had a government job. But I have worked around and with governments quite a bit. Alas the only orgy I was ever aware of was in an on line role playing game occupied by mostly kids, hopefully older ones, and very young adults. I didn't stick around.
But that was back then and this is now. Government is much too often far less the honorable profession that it once was.
There's no honor in doing work. It's only a means to a paycheck.
As long as they have a safe place when it gets real.
The worst day of retirement is 10000000 times better than the best day at work
