Unless Musk somehow copied himself several times, he is working remote for most of his companies each day.
ROFL.
That's hilarious. You actually think Musk works?
Sadly, tweeting is part of his job of owning Twitter.
naw. that's him trying to cosplay as a human.
Only on his Diablo progression...
He probably considered designing the cyber truck to be work.
lol 😂
I agree! If Elon musk cannot show up to his offices at Tesla, SpaceX, Twitter, xAI, and Washington for 8 hours Monday-Friday, he should be fired without severance as CEO or co-chair of his government department.
Then they aren't really about efficiency, are they? When properly set up, WFH for office work is very effective and efficient.
But think of the billions of dollars of now unused office space. That's horrible for real estate pricing, which is where many of these fucks are invested.
And billions of barrels of oil no longer being used and going to waste from all the travel not happening and extra heat needed.
they already said it themselves: "Requiring federal employees to come to the office five days a week would result in a wave of voluntary terminations that we welcome"
so no, it was never about efficiency. at all.
Efficient for whom? The rich all have millions invested in commercial real estate so if it's not about voluntary resignations it's about that.
At least they're open about it: The entire point (according to them) is attrition. The actual plan is to make work for these people much more hostile so they quit.
Do you think our tax bills will drop if they succeed in forcing these million employees to quit?
They said they want to run the government like a business, and it looks like that's what they're pursuing. Unfortunately, that just means they'll give us the lowest quality service at the highest possible price.
They said they want to run the government like a business,
In other words: terribly. They want to run the government terribly, exactly how business runs in this country.
god I fucking hate these people. Pure fucking hatred.
So the government telling businesses how they have to operate is small government now?
I assume they mean all government positions. Hey look at that it's in the headline
Oh we're well beyond "small government" at this point.
"Requiring federal employees to come to the office five days a week would result in a wave of voluntary terminations that we welcome". this is and was always the reason american businesses were eager to force everybody back tp work. eat the rich.
Working from home for all jobs that it is compatible with should be a mandate to help lower the amount of gas necessary for commuting.
That hurts their profits
And avoiding government inefficiency, exactly what their dept is actually supposed to be advising on
To help bring good jobs to rural locations, that's how you convince people
Yep but that means you're not buying gas, which is a crime

We owe commercial real estate investors exactly jacksh’t. This is, at least in part, about securing income for commercial landlords. Their “jobs” aren’t any more precious than anyone else’s jobs that are being impacted hard by this changing era. If they would like to fill their buildings, they can fork over some cash to convert parts of them to housing.
Not landlords. About securing investments in commercial real estate.
Which given its traditional status as a rock solid baseline for investors, its not at all surprising that two rich fuckers are pushing hard to shore up commercial real estate. It probably makes a significant part of their investments.
Why? I think businesses should be left alone to decide.
It did seem weird to me that Harris or any of the other democratic candidates campaigned on remote work. Seems like a smart pro-worker position to take that would directly impact a group she was trying to court: college educated professionals who skew male. Plus lower environmental impact, cheaper gas, more opportunities for working parents, etc.
The cynical reason I assume it wasn’t a talking point is because the 1% who directed the media conversation had a vested interest in return to pre-Covid status quo.
A people elected government has a mandate to protect its people. Its real frightening to see that instead it announces adopt the worst business practises of private economy.
"Psst, Doogees, wait until you guys see what Robbie has planned for stay-at-home."
Imma be real... this isn't even a GOP vs DNC thing, the government has always fucking haaaaated telework, especially since Covid let the genie out of the bottle.
It's still going to be handled significantly worse than the DNC would though.

It sounds like he would have the authority to require in-office work.
Does an employee have a right to engage in remote work?
No. Remote work is not a universal employee benefit or an employee right.
Can a manager deny a request for remote work?
Yes. Because of the policy and potential costs implications of remote work arrangements, agencies should evaluate and consider such requests (especially those submitted primarily for the convenience of the employee), on a case-by-case basis, highlighting the cost effectiveness and business benefits to the agency or organization.
Can a manager terminate an existing remote work arrangement?
Yes. An agency may determine that a remote work arrangement no longer meets the business needs of the organization or that the arrangement negatively impacts the employee's performance. However, terminating a remote work arrangement, particularly if the employee resides outside the local commuting area of the agency worksite, may require additional considerations. If the decision is made to terminate the remote work arrangement for business reasons, there may be costs implications for the agency to consider.
That being said, my guess is that at least some federal employees probably pretty much have to work outside of the office, just because of the nature of the job -- like, it may be travel-intensive. I guess they could end work-from-home stuff.
Fuck you both
