90 minutes to leave a parking park, an office with lead in the water, lack of computers and secretaries. Chaos installed seems proposed.
US federation workers are gradually returning to the office in order of Donald Trump, who since taking pose forced these professionals to end up with the teleworking. The goal is… to give up on your job.
“We think that a very significant number of people will not appear to work and therefore Our government will become smaller and more efficient“, Said the president.
There are many reports told to or by the federating employees who were returning to the office just to find complete chaos.
Some claim that there are fewer parking places. The chaos is so much that, some work campus, the employees It may take 90 minutes just leaving the parking lot, Due to bottling, the workers report.
Some even were sent home. “So, instead of working that day, they spent some time in the office and ended up being sent home to do the work they would have done throughout the day,” says one worker.
Others arrive at the office and They have to work… on the floor. “At least I have a secretary. Many of my team members have been in classrooms and auditoriums or had to change secretary several times. Some were assigned to safe areas to which they cannot access,” said a Texas employee.
To those who did not have secretary available, “they were told to go to cafeteria and wait for an email, but There is no wi-fi in cafeteria. ”It is an“ arbitrary punishment ”, complain to people.
“There are all the small indignities of being in a installation never equipped for so many people: the toilet paper and the paper towels ended up Immediately, very long lines in the cafeteria, loud noise, people working in the corridors, ”says one worker.
Telework was a guarantee for so many workers that a forest service employee ensures that he did not have a place of work assigned. His documentation attributed the workplace to his own address. Still, he was told to look for the federal building closer to home.
And as the contracts were cut due to the federating cuts implemented by the ELON MUSK EFFICIENCY Department, federal employees in some places are really having to contribute to the cleaning work.
Instead of doing the work to which form hired, many people say they are Clean Bathrooms.
Some employees of the Federal Administration of Aviation also report that they have returned to a cabinet where lead in the water.
With the mass discharge that these federal institutions are being targeted, many do not even know if they will have a job assured in the near future.
But the return to the office is not helping in the cuts of public spending, they guarantee. “This is not saving money to taxpayers ”said a forest service employee. “The government has to pay for warming, electricity and water. If it is concerned about saving money, returning to the office should be a low priority.”
“Our calls continue to be virtual. Our work is still done through email, called for Teams and shipping on SharePoint,” said the IRS official in Texas. “My supervisor is in another condition. We are not ‘collaborating’ more than we were two weeks ago. All this is absurd.”
