The recently confirmed head of the Small Business Administration (SBA), Kelly Loeffler, released a video tour of her agency on Friday, showcasing empty offices in a call for government workers to return to in-person work.
"It's my second day here at the SBA," Loeffler said. "I could not be more excited to be here. So I thought I'd take a walk. And what I found is that exactly what's been said is true. About 90 percent of our employees are working from home. Well, that ends Monday with President Trump's order to return to work."
The video has picked up over 17 million views on X.
"The problem with work from home in the federal government is that the employees cannot be fired," former Deputy Assistant Secreatry of the Interior Department, Jeremy Carl, wrote on X Saturday. "When you don’t have to show up to the office, and there is no accountability for your performance [and] that is a recipe for disaster."
"No one at work," billionaire and Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) chief Elon Musk wrote.
Musk's post brought criticism from some commentators.
Market researcher Anna Matson defended work-from-home policies in a post Friday. "This is one of the worst Trump policies" Matson wrote. "There used to be one parent at home and one that worked. Now, both parents must work to survive. Adding 2-3 hours a day to their workday significantly reduces time with their family. If we want to support families, work from home when feasible should remain."

“” If we want to support families, work from home when feasible should remain.”””
Then start a business and have all your employees work from home. Let us know how that works out for you.
I had an acquaintance do that with credit card processing. Made millions.
gotta be run by a woman ... I guess ...
Probably paid according to results.
Where is the link to the X video? I’m not signing up at Fox News.
Lemme know when Kelly gets rid of SBA preferred loans for immigrant Protected Classes...known as the entire nation of India, for example, all 1.4 BILLION of them.
Interstate 80 from SFO to SLC now has roadsigns in Hindi and restaurants that are owned/operated of, by and for...Indians.
In addition to the famous Patel motels.
Where did they get the money to start all these businesses? From us, of course. With preferences, cuz they are “victim minorities”. No one bothers to explain how people who a) are from the largest nation no Earth and b) chose to come here end up being “victims”.
But they done got the cash. But if you’re a 10th generation casper lookin’ to do the same, fugeddaboutit.
So man up, Kelly. Unlike that day in January 2020 when you got skeered by the little FBI/NSA/DNC agitprop event and voted to accept the Electoral ballots...when you knew they were phony.
“” If we want to support families, work from home when feasible should remain.”””
But that should be decided by the employer not the employee, or dictated by some bureaucracy.
There are some benefits for employers to have people work from their homes - Smaller office buildings, lower utilities, etc. The question is whether productivity declines - so it’s a balance between the two.
Here’s the actual :39 second video that Hon. Loeffler posted.

Rooster’s link only goes to Fox News and shows testimony. Unless you’re a ‘subscriber’ to Fox. I haven’t clicked on a FNC link in years. I had no idea that we now have to sign up to read their articles. Wow.
Market researcher Anna Matson supports one day work week and F/M hooker sideline profits.
Agree.
Scroll down and see mine at #9.
I am so tired of bad links and post-and-run on FR.
(Someone else can find a Rumble link probably. I have horrible luck searching on Rumble). Sorry about using Google-Tube.
I CALL BS.
WHEN I WAS WORKING & PAYING TAXES-—1957 to 2004, THERE were many people that COULD HAVE SURVIVED on one income-—
BUT—THEY “WANT IT ALL”.
THEY have 5 family cell phones.
They have PAY TV
They have MULTIPLE “APPS” on their CELL PHONES.
They have NEW cars.
They go on ‘EXOTIC DESTINATION VACATIONS”
They get food/groceries delivered
I COULD GO ON & ON.
I NEVER earned MORE than $20 an hour GROSS in my life——and from 1980 to 2004, I was self-employed. I had to pay both parts of my FICA/Medicare-—so MY pay was reduced to $16.94 an hour. FOR 42 YEARS.
NO OVERTIME
NO TRAVEL TIME
NO PAID VACATIONS
NO PAID SICK DAYS
NO PAID HOLIDAYS
NO HEALTH BENEFITS
NO PENSION BENEFITS
DIDN’T charge $20 an hour until 1-1-1989, and have never raised that amount.
Did BOOKKEEPING for small businesses that NEVER needed a full time bookkeeper. There is a LIMIT to what they can pay.
OWN ALL MY REAL ESTATE—VEHICLES—PERSONAL ITEMS—HORSE/DOG.
WHEN YOU ARE LIVING WELL OVER YOUR MEANS-QUIT BLAMING IT ON OTHERS.
LOOK IN THE MIRROR
SOMEHOW-—I HAVE THE STRONG IDEA THAT THE GUY AT THE TIRE STORE-—SHOULD BE AT THE TIRE STORE WHEN I HAVE A NEED FOR THOSE SERVICES.
SAME FOR DENTIST-—EYE DOC—MECHANIC
I started out charging about $6 an hour. WAS only $20 an hour from 1-1-1989.
Monday will be interesting.
Thx for that link, Kit.
“There used to be one parent at home and one that worked. Now, both parents must work to survive.”
You chose to marry, you chose to have children...figure it out. The government isn’t there to subsidize your child care.
AMEN!
Most welcome, Rooster.
I can’t believe you need to sign up for FNC now. What a surprise.
What about someone in customer support who does everything with a PC and a phone?
