Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, under Donald Trump's fictional 'Department of Government Efficiency,' propose a drastic change: mandatory office attendance for all federal employees. This move aims to reduce government size and eliminate remote work policies.
When history writes the book on what work was like during the 2020s, there’s going to be one chapter that will dominate them all:This intense game has been going on for at least half a decade now, but there are some new heavyweights trying their hardest to pull the rope in one direction and declare themselves the winner. Elon Musk and fellow American entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy were appointed this month by Donald Trump to lead the made-up ‘Department of Government Efficiency’ in the US.
One of their primary ways of doing that? Forcing all 2.2 million US federal workers to come back into the office every single day. Until now, each agency within the government has been able to choose their own workplace policy, resulting in roughly half of the total Federal workers being on-site all the time, and the rest choosing a mix of office and at-home working.
Now, let’s stop for a minute and interrogate what they are trying to do here. On the surface, their talk of efficiency is a noble aim, however instead of having an adult discussion about the merits of which type of work is best for workers, Musk and Ramaswamy want to use the return to office mandate as a blunt-force instrument to force workers to quit.
Musk has previously called working from home “bullshit” because not all employees have access to it, and demands that all of his workforces commute into the office and factory every single day.
