Thanks!
And yeah, it’s world wide.
Maybe time for Jesus to come back for us?

“… The Social Security Administration and the Housing and Urban Development offices were both at 7% occupancy…”
****************************************************
I did some contract systems development work at the Social Security Administration headquarters for several years. My impression that many (probably over half) of their employees were incapable of doing the work in an acceptable manner and their supervisors had to expend considerable effort to get ANY output from them. And that was while they were in the office where they could be under close supervision. I imagine they are producing even less while pretending to work from home. Other employees there were VERY capable and likely doing 90% of the work. I imagine THOSE competent employees are able to accomplish even more from home where they don’t have to babysit the incompetents.
Other federal agencies are probably the same.
Corporate America went through waves of downsizing beginning in the 1980’s through the present day. The technology revolution of personal computers, software and the internet greatly increased the productivity of office workers resulting in the elimination of many jobs. Downsizings from acquisitions and the subsequent leveraging of overhead across a larger revenue base also contributed to private sector productivity gains.
While businesses reduced administrative headcount, government bureaucracies grew through mission creep and failure to leverage technology to gain operating efficiency. Today they are slow, inwardly focused, and unable to perform their missions.
Early in my business career I was talking to an executive about the low morale in the company after a new CEO arbitrarily slashed headcount by 10% upon arrival. The executive simply stated “Fear is a great motivator.” He was correct, after a few weeks I noticed employees were working harder and smarter. Decisions making speeded up with fewer people involved. Accountability became much more visible. Many low return activities were simply dropped. Heavily stretched high performers began exerting peer pressure on average performers to pick up the pace or leave. Over time the economic benefit of the layoff wasn’t the salary savings, it was the improvement in operating effectiveness and efficiency realized by eliminating wasted activity.
The bloated federal bureaucracy desperately needs an injection of fear into the culture. A 20% across the board cut would save the taxpayers billions in payroll costs while also eliminating wasted activity and resources.
Many of them still use the fed facilities. My son is a contract engineer at NASA. He works at NASA.

Aka SHIRK from home. Meaning that in any kind of crisis a Federale agency will FAIL! Not that they give a shyte. Remember the baby formula fiasco and dire shortage? Shirk from home is to blame/ -— Pee wee Pete Buttigieg is still on paternity leave. Enabled by shirk from homo. He shows up at the office 5 hours a month at most. (my assessment)
Shirk from home works out when said Federale agency is just administering. When shirk from homers do 5 hours a week “work”, this is all that is needed to shuffle the papers.
Perfect place to house the illegals.
Teleworking is a cover story. More than 20% of federal bureaucrats are either dead or incapacitated from covid shots, diabetes and narcissism.
” The General Services Administration, which manages all federal buildings, was operating at 11%”
That is Monty Python level irony right there.
“I imagine THOSE competent employees are able to accomplish even more from home where they don’t have to babysit the incompetents.”
That has been the true revolution of telework in both the public and private sectors.
At most 20% of the workers (to be blunt, often white men) are carrying the load—and the rest is affirmative action quota filling.
Most managers have to waste their time babysitting those who are either unable or unwilling to do real work.
Poorly written article.
What % of employees Telework ?
What % of employees physically work in govt bldgs. ?
How many days per week do % of employees report into their offices..?
The goal i read this past summer , was to increase
no. of days in office.
All the person(s) running the govt have to do is
direct agencies ‘UP’ the no. of days required to be present in office.
This not a hard fix.
While you are waiting in any TSA line, just observe who is doing the actual work. They are overwhelmingly ex-military and of one particular gender and colour.
Good sell them and pay off something
