Trump: Federal Workers Will Be Fired Unless They End Remote Work And Return To Office Soon
It doesn’t get clearer than this: return to the office or be fired. Trump gave federal workers a stark warning Wednesday. He announced that federal employees must agree by February 6 to end their remote-work arrangement and return to the office on a full-time basis. Trump asserts that federal workers are unproductive and don’t work most of the time when they are “so-called” working from home.
While speaking at the White House Wednesday, Trump said,
“We don’t want them to work from home, because as everyone knows, most of the time they’re not working. They’re not very productive. And it’s unfair to the millions of people in the United States who are in fact working hard from job sites and not from their home.” He went on to say, “if they don’t agree by February 6 to show up back to work in their office, they will be terminated.”
