"Why DOGE’s Push for No Remote Work Could Backfire on Federal Employees"

**Description **
The debate over federal employees returning to the office is heating up. Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, leading the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), are pushing for a major shift in how federal agencies handle remote work. Their stance, which involves requiring federal workers to come back to the office five days a week, is designed to save taxpayers money and force those who prefer telecommuting to leave voluntarily. But will this move truly save the U.S. government money, or could it have unintended consequences?

In this video, we dive deep into the ongoing struggle over remote work policies for federal employees. With nearly 1.1 million federal staffers eligible for telecommuting, how will these changes impact productivity, morale, and employee retention? We also explore how different government agencies, from the Treasury to Homeland Security, have implemented various telework policies that are now under threat.

While some agencies, like the Department of Agriculture, have seen significant in-person work hours, others, like the Treasury Department, have employees working remotely for nearly 65% of their time. The push to get employees back to the office may not only disrupt lives but could result in a large-scale exodus of experienced professionals from the public sector.

Could the federal government’s one-size-fits-all approach to telecommuting be shortsighted? We'll also look at potential costs and risks associated with this strategy, and hear expert opinions on how this might affect the future of government operations and employee satisfaction.

Additionally, this policy could face challenges from unions, as many federal workers have telework agreements written into their contracts. The American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE) has already voiced concerns that these changes will need to be negotiated, especially since many members have jobs that cannot be done remotely.

In this video, we explore how shifting back to pre-pandemic work structures might impact federal agencies' effectiveness and the potential political consequences of such a decision.
