For starters, suddenly you will be short 300 workers that provide sullen, slow, incompetent service!

Perfecto! Get the overpaid, underworked, lazy, incompetent, useless government surplus to quit! Next, cut off all welfare, employment, school enrollment access, health benefits, housing subsidies, food stamps, etc., to illegals, and they’ll do the culling thing as well.

Even the people that work in our grocery stores showed up for work through the thick of it. They got no medals, appreciation from the government, nothing. They should make a federal holiday to thank them and the truckers that made it all happen.

In the old days of telework, it was made clear that working at home was not to be used for childcare. Now it is often a motive.

300 is really not that much across an entire state government.

I don’t know the intricacies of Virginia state government employment, but it’s rather rare for a career civil servant to abandon those sweet bennies and juicy pension that normally come with a state job. How many of the people who resigned actually were retirement eligible? How many are moving to the next level scam of disability retirement? How many were in their first few years of working, hated their jobs already and think the grass is greener elsewhere?

I’m mixed about telework, I think some jobs should be much more open to telework, but some jobs should absolutely have an office presence. I also believe a lot of people got paid to watch TV at home for two years because their jobs were so pointless that when removed from an office environment with the pointless meetings and checking in on other people, the entirety of a day’s work can be accomplished in an hour or less.

Cuts the amount of employees who will need to be laid off in the recession.

Great idea!
I hope Pres Trump will implement similar policy ASAP.

Awesome news. Now lets get rid of the Congress critters who vote from home and don’t show up to work.

Don’t replace! A great way to reduce payroll.

No one will notice if they fail to show up for work.

The downside is when you have to hire them back as contractors for 2x or 3x what they’d been getting paid.

I just moved to private industry and I’m suffering from a $180k raise. No way in hell I’d go back.

Office people think they are better than blue collar workers. Showing up for work is for the little people.

maybe it will be post office workers...they barely do the job so we won’t miss them.

None at all that I can think of. We need to encourage more to follow their lead.
