CNN —Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy are determined to force federal employees to return to the office in hopes that some will opt to quit instead. Only a small share of employees work fully remotely. During the pandemic, many departments allowed more staffers to telecommute — though about half of federal employees continued to work fully in person. About 22% of federal staffers did so, compared with 25% of private-sector workers. It could also prompt talented federal employees to seek jobs in the private sector.
