Crenshaw demands federal employees stop teleworking as COVID cases surge



By Josh Israel -August 23, 2021 3:35 PM

The federal government is actually trying to increase flexibility after seeing the impacts of remote work during the pandemic.

The delta variant is fueling COVID-19 case spikes nationally, including in the Washington, D.C., area. But one House Republican thinks this is the time to force federal workers to go back into the office.

Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX) filed a bill on Friday called the "Return Act." If enacted, it would mandate that all federal agency heads "require the level of telework of employees of the agency to return to the level of telework of those employees on February 14, 2020," before the coronavirus pandemic took hold in the United States.

To date, no other members of Congress have signed on as co-sponsors.

He's a little barking lapdog and he knows it. He's just part of a big, organized grift.

He needs them all back to work so he can stop making withdrawls from his mental spankbank.
Of course it isnt true. But I very much want asshole to have to deny it (thank you, LBJ).

They're saving butt-loads of facilities support dollars that is going to facilities infrastructure that really matters - updated technology, more network bandwidth, etc...
No one fights over the "employee of the month' parking spot anymore, and production has improved.

the goverment finds that thousands of employees can work from home and thousands of employees want to work from home, the government will save millions in what office space costs.

I think it's time to move Crenshaw to Storage Room B.
