Rats, Card Tables & Chaos! Federal Workers Struggle in Return to Office 🚨 🐀 The return to office for federal workers has been anything but smooth! Overflowing parking lots, makeshift desks, and even BYO toilet paper—yes, really! Employees at some agencies say their offices are barely functional, with crumbling infrastructure, slow internet, and even concerns over Legionella bacteria in aging buildings.
With cafeterias shut down and janitorial staff stretched thin, morale has plummeted, and workers are questioning why they were called back at all.
Some say they were far more productive at home, but officials insist in-person work boosts efficiency. Others believe the chaotic conditions are intentional—pushing workers to quit in frustration. For some, this return to office isn't just inconvenient—it’s a financial nightmare.
Long commutes, increased gas and childcare costs, and even temporary weeknight housing near offices have turned what was once a manageable job into an expensive burden. Some remote workers, hired specifically to work from home, now face an impossible choice: relocate or quit.
Government officials argue that in-person work improves efficiency and strengthens collaboration, but workers tell a different story. Many say the chaotic conditions are actually making them less productive and believe the rushed return was designed to push them out. "We got more done at home, and that’s just a fact," said one frustrated employee. "This is all about control, not efficiency."
Is this really about government efficiency, or is it a power play? Would you stick it out or walk away?
