• Marc Andreessen reiterated the Department of Government Efficiency’s (DOGE) plans to call federal employees back to the office for more than one or two days and questioned whether President-elect Trump could order people back to in-person work. 

Venture investor Marc Andreessen described a return-to-office initiative for government employees as a main priority of the Department of Government Efficiency. According to Andreessen, DOGE is focused on headcount, government spending, and regulations in its efforts so far, and the team has “very clever ideas” in all three areas.
