Work from home jobs are here to stay for US federal government employees, offering productivity, cost savings, well-being, and environmental benefits.

EXCLUSIVE — Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) is looking to require federal workers to come back to work after agencies allowed for flexible remote schedules during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Back then, it was called “telecommuting,” and managers didn’t know what to make of it. Some still don’t.

As of Wednesday, it’s been 1,143 days since workers across the country were sent home in an effort to slow the spread of the COVID-19 virus. It’s been 692 days since the Biden administration issued a plan for “an effective, orderly, and safe increased return of Federal employees and contractors to the physical workplace” and 227days since President Joe Biden declared that “the pandemic is over.”

Enter any federal agency’s office building in Washington, and you’re likely to find a skeleton workforce, as when the pandemic was young.
