Going to office everyday isn't necessary today like it was years ago. Hybrid working. Rent the office space ONLY for the days its used. It's expensive to commute to work. EXPENSIVE. Think cars, gas, lunch, parking. It's ridiculous.
Some are front line workers. It depends on what agency one works for in the government. You really should study up on all the different government agencies and what they do.
Outrageous. Since teleworking, I've moved 50 miles away from the office. No way am I commuting that distance. Working at home also saves me time and money. I can usually get my work done in a few hours per day.
If the empty offices cost the government too much money, then why are we keeping the offices open? Can’t they be converted into apartments to resolve the housing crisis?
While that’s a noble sentiment, converting office space to apartments is not easy nor cheap. They have to sell the property that’s usually built to a very different spec to a willing purchaser that wants to convert it to apartments.
@ Just add plumbing, walls/doors, and windows and it can be used to house people. As far as selling it, sure, then it can actually bring some revenue in for the federal government. I assume there’s plenty of people willing to convert it, since home-building seems to be all the rage these days, and downtown property would attract tons of tenants/owners. The only thing left would be to fix the zoning laws, but once a developer gets that in mind, I’m sure they can pay off the local government to take care of that, as they always do.
At least you got through. My father died last year and I'm still in the process of settling his estate. Due to his dementia, he failed to file tax returns for a couple years. He got a letter from the IRS where they calculated his taxes giving him 3 weeks to come up with a return or pay the amount stated. There was a number to call with questions, etc. I've been calling the number to let them know he's dead and I will eventually be filing the back returns. After going through multiple prompts and a lecture as to what each one is for, I get a message that they're too busy to take the call and to call at a later time. I can't tell you how many times I've called. I'm thinking of calling my congressman.
You would have had to ask JFK that question because it was HIS idea to construct that monstrosity and move the FBI from the Justice Department building where it had been since the 1930's to where it is now. Don't you find it funny that every time there is a boondoggle of this kind, there seems to be a democrat behind it!
All federal employees should quit, then the government will contract all the jobs, the ex government employees will then be hired by the contractors, the contractors will make all the jobs remote because they will see the office space is a waste of money.
Can we just save money and shut down the offices? I mean, wouldn't it save on electrical, lease payments, and upkeep? I see a lot of people on here commenting that do not know how remote work functions. It's pretty easy to track productivity. Making people come back just because there are buildings seems asinine. Just shut down the buildings. If we own the buildings then use them for something else or tear them down and use the land for a different project
It's also easier to defraud the government when you work remotely. Why do unelected people get to decide how to spend taxpayer money? Do you agree that shouldn't be happening?
@charlie-qh2ll lol, what are you talking about? Keeping these buildings is a waste of taxpayers' money. You guys obviously do not have a clue what types of work is being done remotely.
That fact that asking people to come back into the office and work is controversial tells you all you need to know about where are today. Federal workers who sit at home and do next to nothing all day and are on their cell phones is not news. I know many of them.
The ARE working so your statement makes no sense. It's a matter of from where they are actually DOING the work! Which, in todays day and age, shouldn't make a difference as long as the work is getting done!
James Comer, sir you’re full of BS! If government employees can do their job remotely, then they should. It’s up to managers to make sure remote employees are being productive. Furthermore, I agree 💯 that consolidation of government buildings would be a huge benefit for the government.
A large percentage of government employees can be terminated in the public will not notice anything but the money we save. Starting with EPA Caltrans, IRS government teachers union. Just to name a few.
Not working from an office does several things that are not good for our country. 1. Downtown businesses across the country are shutting down or are struggling due to workers not working from the office. 2. A large percentage of workers are becoming more and more mentally ill. Some WILL file for disability because they now fear public places. 3. It divides our country. We are no longer united because we are all isolated from one another. The costs outweigh the benefits of remote work. (PS #4. Supervision is diminished as supervisors are not able to "observe" work being done.)
You’re wrong! Employees are more productive when they work from home. The economy will have to adapt and device new strategies to reach employees who work from home.
It depends on one's work. My work can all be done from home. There is nothing to collaborate on. I don't have to meet with clients, propose plans, or demonstrate anything. I resent having to spend time commuting, paying for parking, using gas just so I can go to work, close my door and use the internet. I have a toxic workplace and my mental health improved drastically when we were working from home. I want to do my job and be left alone. I don't want "work-friends." My skill-set matches my personality and my work involves quite concentration for extended periods of time. There is nothing of value my physical presence brings to the work I do. I don't really care if lame chain lunch spots close down. I don't eat at Panera or Chic-fil-a and it would matter a damn to me if such places closed.
I am a salary based employee who puts in 8 to 14 hours a day now that I have been working from home for over 5 years. When I had to work in the office I would put in 8 hours and nothing more. I work with a team of 30 people where only one of them lives in the state as me, he happens to be my manager. There is absolutely no reason for either of us to be in the office.
(1) "Forcing federal employees back to work" is the most common sense, easiest thing to do. Just send out a Notice stating "report for work or be fired; your choice". Done. (2) Also, "Forcing federal employees back to work" will strengthen the economy by increasing commercial property values (which the soundness of our Banks depends upon) and boosting business for nearby restaurants, vendors, etc.
They don’t want to go back to work? Then have them install a camera on their computer to prove they are sitting at their desk for 8 hrs a day. They’ll quit. 😂
You like control don't you? If you're a boss, I guarantee your employees are stealing from you and gently sabotaging things on purpose. Nobody can stand working for people like you, even for those who love the tasks or topic of the organization.
@@striver1987 accountability is great and now employers need to pay up. Hard to survive and feel like a human under 100K a year. Even here in Phoenix average mortgage is now 3K a month.

As a former worker I cannot see how persons with Security clearances be working from home. How do they get access to the secure info, jackets etc. ? I much preferred leaving all that stuff at the Office and not bringing it home.
If you’re honest and work you will have no problem going back to the office if that’s what it takes to stay employed. It’s the lazy Dems who do nothing but cry and I will love every minute of it.

Not really they will just email you report to the office or your terminated. Also you can be relocated across the country. This is federal they can transfer you anywhere.

Save money on the rent, save money on the cost of workplace safety incidents, workplace injuries, sickness, building upkeep and supplies! It is simple! We have a union contract stronger than any new policy 😂😂😂😂😂
Sell off some of the Federal buildings, working from home allows for high focus versus being cubicles with everyone speaking to citizens requesting information then can not hear the person speaking over all the background noise. If someone is failing to work then reprimands are appropriate with continued monitoring.
The president has a right to downsize the government! And that's exactly what he is going to do the government is too big and we can't afford it simple as that
To Federal workers wither you have a family or not, if your not doing your job or your job is no longer required then I am a tax payer YOU ARE GONE, there was a recent report done that says over 50 million dollars is owed by IRS workers who have no payment plan in place, Also there was an other report recently that says Remote federal workers are working from home and running a small business at the same time. Now as a Federal Tax Payer do you think this is right. When you a hard American worker going to work each day paying the salaries of these Federal workers operating small businesses at the same time they are working for the Federal Government. What do you think. ??? Thanks
He said "that's going to be a lot harder said than done" ??? (confusing) isn't that supposed to be "a lot easier said than done" ?? Script writers just ain't what they used to be!!
I am tired of trying to make appointments with county, state and federal offices, with no one working. A phone discussion is not the same. I want to look that person in the eye.
It would NOT be hard to fire feral employees. Reagon did it back in the early '80's with flight controllers, he just old them they were fired if they didn't get back to work. They didn't, they were fired and new ones hired. Too bad so sad. Most of these feral zombies don't do anything anyway.
Not if you delete their positions, if want the way around that, just get rid of the position or redefine its job description to janitor. If theres no job then the comtract and employee has no recourse, the law doesmt guarantee you are mandated a job.
I had to call the VA the other day to help me with a form I had to fill out for my disability. The lady on the other end of the phone was super nice and very helpful and I could hear a child playing and talking in the background. I thought it was kind of cute and it didn’t bother me, as within a week., I had the proper forms I needed I would say under some circumstances working at home should be allowed and in others. It should be necessary for them to be in an office. If it can be proven through any means as to check their work. efficiency and output through surveys at the end of each client involvement.
Government workers are Frontline workers! What does that supposed to mean when you call someone in the government service they’re talking to you with curlers in their hair and slippers on from their breakfast table.
we cannot drive to work with out gas money, car insurance and registration and other fees... plus whatever we need to keep us alive while we work... once we fall it takes a alot more $$$ to get back up,, it takes years occasionally month if we are good looking or healthy...
It would cost less for mfs to work from home What's costing money is the building leases and maintenance of those buildings Mfs in the comments with a letter for a pfp swear that forcing office workers back to the office is worth anyone's effort or time (the expensive office building is still being leased and maintained either way) The only difference is that people have to waste gas money and clog the freeways to achieve the same result actual boomers who don't know how computers or computer security work
When I became a civil servant, I was told the purpose of usa is to provide jobs to people that like to sleep at their desks...and they can't be fired for anything.

Why is the lease 5biliion a year? That needs to be addressed first! Follow the money, who owns the buildings?

Unelected people should not be determining how to spend taxpayer money. You agree with that, correct?
The elite left, that are immune to changes in taxes. If there is a lease, it's not a federal owned building.
GSA owns the buildings and keeps them up and never even makes sure they are kept up properly

Yes go to the office no more easy easy
Not if you delete their positions, if want the way around that, just get rid of the position or redefine its job description to janitor. If theres no job then the comtract and employee has no recourse, the law doesmt guarantee you are mandated a job.
I had to call the VA the other day to help me with a form I had to fill out for my disability. The lady on the other end of the phone was super nice and very helpful and I could hear a child playing and talking in the background. I thought it was kind of cute and it didn’t bother me, as within a week., I had the proper forms I needed I would say under some circumstances working at home should be allowed and in others. It should be necessary for them to be in an office. If it can be proven through any means as to check their work. efficiency and output through surveys at the end of each client involvement.
Government workers are Frontline workers! What does that supposed to mean when you call someone in the government service they’re talking to you with curlers in their hair and slippers on from their breakfast table.
we cannot drive to work with out gas money, car insurance and registration and other fees... plus whatever we need to keep us alive while we work... once we fall it takes a alot more $$$ to get back up,, it takes years occasionally month if we are good looking or healthy...
Hopes is tru they gone come back to works at the office
Hate crime. Cause I want to work at home too.
People can be so naive. Federal telework improves efficiency. And most federal employees do not work from home.
It would cost less for mfs to work from home
What's costing money is the building leases and maintenance of those buildings
Mfs in the comments with a letter for a pfp swear that forcing office workers back to the office is worth anyone's effort or time (the expensive office building is still being leased and maintained either way)
The only difference is that people have to waste gas money and clog the freeways to achieve the same result
actual boomers who don't know how computers or computer security work
1:25 I promise it's not "going to ba a lot harder said than done" actually.
Cry babies. I did govt work. I had to show each day
Who voted for Trump to find out that now you have to go to office and can’t work from home? LOL😂
I got a better idea, lets just hire people from India that'll work remotely for a fraction of American workers. Think of the savings.🤣🤣🤣
Beginning to thing this is a Democrat news network
When I became a civil servant, I was told the purpose of usa is to provide jobs to people that like to sleep at their desks...and they can't be fired for anything.
Bring in doge! Musk will solve this problem fast! Musk had the same problem at Tesla with remote workers! Musk laid them off 😂😂😂
Dexter
FIRED, no show up FIRED, SIMPLE AN SAVES SLAVE TAXPAYERS MONEY
The majority of Americans voted for this !
