In the private sector, absolutely, but this thread is about government workers.

Holy typos in my post. I can see the government doing the same thing. We can’t afford to keep spending at the same rates. Trump wanted to move entire agencies thousands of miles to reduce headcount. Reverting to the pre pandemic telework guidelines could accomplish the same thing. There’s no way every agency functions as efficiently and effectively with WFH. The real estate sits vacant and creates unnecessary costs. It’s a no brainer and will happen.

Well yeah, but the goal of reducing headcount wasn't because we couldn't afford to keep them employed, it was to force all the competent people who could get other jobs to leave so that the agencies would be crippled and unable to provide oversight, enforce regulations, or distribute services to the "wrong people."
