During COVID, government employees across the country were able to begin working from home and now, years later, they don’t want to give that up.
Trump wants to put an end to this. He expects people to actually show up to their offices to do their jobs. Can you imagine that?
Trump is serious about this too, and wants to fire employees who won’t return to working in-person. He absolutely should. if these people don’t need to show up for work, what are taxpayers paying them for? More
He needs a couple of efficiency consultants like the two Bobs, from one of the best movies ever made;

Trick question? They’re Fed employees. They are non-essential by nature.
They should get rid of the damn union too.
Simple solution: Officially designate ALL of them as NON-essential and then make a case-by-case evaluation for exceptions.
“Please, Ke’nosha, explain why we can’t live without you.”
As someone else noted (probably on X), you have a gov’t shutdown, where all *non-essential* employees are put on hiatus… and then you know who the non-essential employees are, and just lay them off.
It all depends on what you mean by essential. Good starting point would be upper 90%.
We deal with a lot of them. Mainly by email. But I would have to say a big chunk of them are unemployable in the private sector.
If their email address ends in .gov, they are non-essential.

“How Do You Know When a Federal Employee Is Non-Essential?”
They’re employed by the FedGov.
If they don’t have to be in the office, they don’t have to be in Washington D.C. Build a federal office building in a less expensive location – perhaps Davenport, Iowa or Fort Wayne, Indiana, and move these employees there. Require them to report to the office, which they will because there isn’t much else to do.

Totally agree. It we big a big step in the right direction decentralizing our government. Move their libtard asses out into fly over country. Turn DC into an amusement park.
I would suggest Gary, Indiana. East St. Louis, etc…
Wyatt and Bad Brad exactly, move them out to fly over country.
Some years ago there was a Fed worker who showed up, hanged up a coat, wrote about a half-page of notes, then vamoosed. Came back about 3:30 PM picked up his coat and went home. Left his office door open so it seemed like he had just stepped out. Did it for years.
Far as I recall he never got caught – told on himself after he retired – but my memory may be faulty.
Another guy entered the Dept. of Agriculture (he was an employee of the Dept. of Agriculture) for over 3 years with an ID that had a picture of a dog on it and the name Phineas T. Boogerhound.
I am NOT making this up.

How Do You Know When a Federal Employee Is Non-Essential?
When he shits his pants in public, speaks gibberish and falls asleep!
If the employer can not differentiate between essential and non-essential, get rid of the employer.
How do you tell when they are?
I just dealt with our Secretary of State over a title so I’m particularly biased.
Declare a National Bird Flu Emergency, but only for the Federal Work Force. All Non-essential Employees must stay home. Have every State do the same. That is your firing list
I live an hour outside of DC. I am exposed to so many of these gubmint sponging libtards it is enfuriating. fire them all!!!!
Implement Zero Based Staffing and make them justify each and every position annually.
Three other guys and I were in the office through the Corona -> Covid scam every goddamn day. We were told to “work from home.” We ignored that directive. In order to serve the public, we had to be available and accessible to the public. That was at the local government level, we were offered early retirement during the scam, but refused it. As soon as the fake and phony return to office phase of the scam began it was obvious that they were telling us: You didn’t like the carrot, let’s see how you like the stick. Only one of the four will still be there by April 2025.
