back to the office is unnecessary bullsh*t.
it's pandering to us b/c we know the gov't is bloated and we are currently paying for unoccupied buildings.
a better "solution" to the buildings is to sublet the office space and/or have a modified footprint for fed employees such as rotating 3 days in 2 days out 1 week and vice versa the next.

and they will soon be unemployed; collecting welfare or at any rate be worse off than where they are now.
>I don't want a federal workforce entirely concentrated in one metro.
Could not agree more. take some of the semi-useful agencies and move them to where they need to be…example Dept. of Energy can move to Permian Basin (Carlsbad, NM; Hobbs, NM; or Midland TX)…where ENERGY IS PRODUCED.
Put the FBI & Homeland in rural western Missouri (well, maybe they don't pass the muster of semi-useful).
>How many people are being paid by the government to do sham jobs?
Sham job and in the office are separate issues. Also, experts don't need to be grinding 24/7; they're kept around for the moment when they're needed. Example, a seniior accountant….might be doing bullsht 28 days a month but on month-end close, takes all the bullsht data entry from the overpaid clerks and does a roll-up that neither mgt nor the f*cking clerk could manager….Middle Mgt = Ensign Mafia (remember, 80% of them are vets).
>One inevitable result will be the less-motivated employees will find work-from-home income elsewhere, thereby lessening taxpayer-funded payroll obligations.
Yes, but private industry on this one is taking cues from gubbermut.
>limp-wristed idea to boycott businesses near the office.
the jackass that wrote that in the reddit page is fucking bitter moron. I have to have a more favorable opinion of the majority; otherwise I'd jump off my one story roof.
> Greater awareness of the sorry state of our nation's capitol will bring pressure to get it back in shape.
I hope. I'm also for rezoning & condo-conversion of those buildings…make them mixed use; low rent shops on the ground floors, parking garages office space and condos. I think it might make things so much more liveable than they are now.

sorry, my point was that "over employment" winds up equating to UBI to some extent.
people still want to feel useful.
