“In recent years, the debate over remote work has intensified, particularly within the federal government. After more than a year of pressure from Congress on the Biden administration to reduce telework among federal employees, the release of the latest Office of Management and Budget report provides critical insights that challenge this pressure. The report shows that, contrary to congressional concerns, federal agencies are easily exceeding the administration’s 50 percent in-office goal for telework-eligible employees. In fact, government-wide, roughly 61 percent of the work hours performed by telework-eligible federal employees have been in person. The data indicate that a majority of federal employees are already meeting or exceeding in-office expectations.” [editor’s note: The problem isn’t with remote “work.” The problem is with the whole idea of government sector, rather than productive sector, “employment” – TLK] (09/17/24)
