Fifty percent of all Federal employees only work 1 day per month at the office

The government workforce has been exposed:

• Half never returned to the office after COVID.

• Some show up just one day a month.

• Yet, they still collect full DC-level salaries.

They have Civil Service protection and they are unionized so they are impossible to fire.  And when they do show up at the office, they will fly in for a long weekend, show up the last business day of a month, and then the first business day of the following month. Then presumably fly home or go on vacation for two months and repeat.  They probably have to check email or do a video chat at least once a day. Oh by the way the average Federal employee salary is over $100,000 per year.

What is the solution?  Well, these employees can't be fired.  How about name and shame the worst offending agencies, and then put a total freeze on their promotions, pay raises, and hiring for the next 4 years.  And make these agencies vacate their empty office space, and cut their budgets.

How can he sign something binding the government for 5 years if he already resigned?  This is a big middle finger to Trump by the deep bureaucracy.
