The newly established Department of Government Efficiency, led by Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, is reportedly considering a move to end remote work for federal employees as a cost-cutting measure. The initiative, known as DOGE, aims to reduce the federal workforce through attrition by requiring all federal employees to work in-office five days a week.
According to sources, the rationale behind this proposal is to encourage voluntary departures from federal workers, thereby saving government funds. The potential executive order to end remote work is seen as an early priority for DOGE, with conservative activist Charlie Kirk expected to serve as an unofficial adviser.
