Mike Rigas, acting director of the Office of Personnel Management, encouraged agencies to use "all available workplace flexibility options" for employees who might otherwise still be coming in to work in the capital from Jan. 15 through Jan. 22. The memo from Rigas, dated Jan. 13, makes no mention of the riot and insurrection at the Capitol Building on Jan. 6.
