Exactly......you seem to do better with pictures, something that requires zero thinking.

The Fed Government has been hiring remote positions for years now. There is no office to go back into.

Legend is right. Sadly, you're too dumb to think for yourself.
Well, I tried. Go back to your fake social media world.

If you have a marginal employee, is he easier to manage when he’s at home or when he’s down the hall?
If you have a marginal employee the issue is that the employee is marginal, not where the employee is located. You’re trying to put a bandaid on a problem, a marginal employee won’t be any less marginal in an office than at home. He will just be occupying space that he doesn’t need to occupy in an office.
The “fix” for ridding the government of marginal employees isn’t making them show up to work, it’s getting rid of them. If you have have competent employees working from home then it’s actually better for everyone because you’re saving money and still getting production out of a valuable employee. Not to mention you open your pool of candidates to a wider audience.

There are plenty of people who work from offices that go into work and pretend to work all day.

MSNBC has more followers. Doesn't make them accurate.

MSNBC is but one source/outlet these types rip off. Literally all they do is take the same stories/quotes from the outlets that have actual connections and sources and copy/paste it to their feeds. There is minimal to no new info. Sometimes they misrepresent what they steal in order to get their mindless followers riled up. They know very few of them will actually investigate anything beyond the tweet, so they're not worried about losing face, and even if they do they know that there are no repercussions.

Less than 3% of jobs in the market even offer hybrid schedules to date.

Kinda silly. If it's not a job that needs to be in person, it's more efficient to not have to pay for facilities. I've worked remote for like 13 years now and I'm sure I do more work than I'd I had to drive into the office, people coming by my cube, going to lunch, etc etc

You have no logical argument against WFH regardless of “my tax dollars”.

Sure I do. Federal employees are difficult (bordering on impossible) to fire, so you've already essentially removed the stick from the "carrot & stick" motivations. WFH just lets the lazy people frick off more with no recourse. Having them in a building makes it easier for managers & coworkers to get actual work out of them. I'm having a hard time understanding why this even needs to be stated. Is it not obvious?
My wife works from home as does one of my sons, but they're not government employees and they can be fired.

Thanks but that doesn't answer the question. I'll try again:
If you have a marginal employee, is he easier to manage when he's at home or when he's down the hall?

You’re not welcome.
You’re trying to solve the wrong problem. That’s the point.

It's actually not that hard if the supervisor would do his due diligence and the things they are required to do...
Once again circles back to the argument of hiring competent employees

If I was then you wouldn't avoid answering the question. I'm looking at a problem that exists right now, you're claiming it won't be a problem IF we just fix some other things. But right now those other things are not fixed and won't be any time soon, so your premise is pointless.
By all means, restructure the federal government to where employees can be fire, but until you've done that, having them show up makes sense and can be done immediately. Making them easier to fire cannot.

What’s your idea? To have a manager waste their time standing over a subpar employee poking them with a stick until they do their work? Look at results, manage the employee based upon the results of their work. You can do that from anywhere.
