I don't believe this for a moment, but taking it on face value, they are telling us that the person in charge of firing thousands of federal workers for being lazy and doing no work was taking a vacation during those firings. They've only been in office a month!

Most on this site know that federal workers are good people who work hard. But it's striking to see the data. Federal workers put in more hours a week than anyone except military and self-employed. Federal workers take fewer days off than almost any others www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

This morning at Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HQ in DC as mandatory return to office began, this video played on loop for ~5 mins on screens throughout the building, per agency source. Building staff couldn’t figure out how to turn it off so sent people to every floor to unplug TVs.

Unclear if my agency will tell us to respond, but if they do I'll have to give my team of 8 admin time to respond. That 15-30 mins each will be costing the government lost productivity. Again, another example about how none of this is about efficiency.

Yes. It seems like they didn’t get nearly as many people as they’d hope to accept the deferred resignation program and now they’re trying to mentally break them and get them to quit. They want agencies to fail.

NEW from me: a source tells me yesterday the Trump admin moved to reduce the size of the Board of Immigration Appeals from 28 Appellate Immigration Judges to 15, in the process laying off judges appointed under Biden. This comes as the BIA faces historic caseloads and delays — which will get worse.
