The pandemic has come and gone, but I guess the federal government missed the memo. They’re still handing out a free pass to anyone who wants to work in their pajamas from the comfort of home.
Hard-working Americans started reporting back to the office a long time ago, but government employees are still enjoying the perks of telework with little to no oversight.
We wouldn’t want to track productivity when it comes to important tasks like issuing benefits or processing passport requests, would we? Heck, we still have people in the FAA “working” from home. That ought to make you feel safe.
This administration thinks they can keep telework going at levels far beyond pre-pandemic times, but what’s the cost?
The Director of the Office of Personnel Management couldn’t even give us a straight answer about how many federal employees are teleworking when we spoke with her back in March.
We need more efficiency and less bureaucracy.
This is why I joined some of my House Republican colleagues to send letters to 25 Biden administration agencies to get to the bottom of this madness. There must be solid productivity tracking before this goes any further.
Citizens deserve real value from their federal workers—not the runaround.
