“You sit down with people you don’t know anything about. We have no idea where our teammates are so we can’t sit on the same floor,” said Glynes Elliot. “There’s no guidance from above. You’re going to have one boss maybe making very strict rules and another boss saying no. It has to be consistent,” said Glynes Elliot.

As federal workers return to the office, some decry lack of direction, long commutesSTARTING MONDAY: As federal workers return to the office, some decry lack of direction, long commutes Honestly, boo hoo. Remote work was introduced as an emergency measure and was never intended to be permanent. They've known for months it was coming. Lack of direction, long commute? How about your union salary, benefits, pension paid for by taxpayers? Too tough to get to work, find a different job!! Such entitlement! Oh well. Perhaps take a teddy bear with you for the first few days.

Lack of direction in government? Say it isn’t so This is so funny. The whole pandemic response was not to protect people at risk, but high income professional workers like federal bureaucrats. They all got to work safely at home while the store clerks and cooks and delivery folks trundled into work to serve them. Most people have been physically at work throughout this whole pandemic. Stop your whining and get back to work.
