Businessman Elon Musk, appointed by the elected President of the United States, Donald Trump, to head the Department of Government Efficiency, and entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy are reported to end remote work in federal agencies as their first task to reduce the number of federal employees. A source speaking to CNN and knowledgeable about the discussions provided information about the debates in the department abbreviated as "DOGE".
MANDATORY OFFICE WORK FOR 5 DAYS A WEEK
According to the source, it was announced that Musk and Ramaswamy plan to immediately end remote work in federal agencies to "encourage federal employees to voluntarily resign," making it mandatory for everyone to come to the office 5 days a week.
This type of obligation is claimed to lead to many federal employees voluntarily leaving as agencies in Washington DC relocate, which would help the new Trump administration reduce staffing in the federal workforce and save money for the government.
CRITICISM THAT PRODUCTIVITY MAY DECREASE
The source stated that ending remote work across the government is "definitely on the table," but it is still unclear how much savings this would provide to the federal government. On the other hand, some federal employees who spoke to CNN anonymously for fear of losing their jobs expressed that they believe being forced to go to the office would make them less productive, also indicating that they work more hours without pay when working from home.
DECISION MAY LEAD TO RESIGNATIONS
Some employees indicated that they might resign if the 'work from home' arrangement they transitioned to after the COVID-19 pandemic is changed, while others stated that they are ready to return to the office. According to data from the U.S. Office of Personnel Management, there are currently 1.3 million federal employees in the country allowed to work remotely. Since each agency sets its own remote work policy according to its needs, not all federal employees are required to be in the office five days a week.
TRUMP: I WILL ELIMINATE WASTE AND FRAUD
Donald Trump stated that the appointment of Musk and Ramaswamy to head the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) would pave the way for eliminating government bureaucracy, reducing excessive regulations, cutting wasteful spending, and restructuring federal agencies. Trump claimed that they would eliminate significant waste and fraud in the annual $6.5 trillion government spending, stating that Musk and Ramaswamy would work together to free the U.S. economy and hold the government accountable to the people.
