Scoop: Biden pushes to end remote work era for feds

10. This is a bad policy decision because it flies in the face of data around productivity.

The only reason Biden is taking this step is to placate the Wall Street investment community, which is afraid that landlords (investors) who own empty office space will begin defaulting on their loans, which the Wall Street greed lizards are afraid will cause more bank failures.

Biden aside, this is just more management bullshit driving this. It is designed to put workers back under closer control, and jettison the hard-won life work balance achieved through full remote and hybrid schedules. Not only will it end up hurting morale instead of helping, but it will increase carbon emissions from the huge federal workforce at a time when our government should be SETTING THE EXAMPLE.

Bottom line, we must stop allowing the Wall Street tail to wag the dog (Main Street). These Wall Street people don't give a shit about workers. Not one shit. People are nothing but hands to them, to be exploited by squeezing as much work as possible from them while giving them the lowest possible pay and cheapest benefits.

This system is unsustainable and this will not help.

It is a bad idea.
