Guido Stevens<p>In the US, federal employees are now forced to sit on an office floor and work on their laptop there, rather than from home. Others don’t even have a designated office building to return to, and are directed to report to any federal building within a 75km radius.</p><p>None of this has remotely (pun not intended…) to do with either remote work, or efficiency. This is all about dominance posturing, and strategic degradation of institutional power, in order to create more grift opportunities through chaos.</p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/rto" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>rto</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/uspol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>uspol</span></a></p><p><a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/03/31/us/politics/federal-workers-return-to-office.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">nytimes.com/2025/03/31/us/poli</span><span class="invisible">tics/federal-workers-return-to-office.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare</span></a></p>
