Exclusive — Secretary of State Rubio Ends COVID-Era Work-from-Home Nonsense, Orders All State Department Officials Immediately Back to Work
President Donald Trump’s new Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, is issuing an order to all State Department personnel effectively ending COVID-era work-from-home guidelines and ordering them all back to work in person at the State Department.
The news of the order, obtained by Breitbart News exclusively ahead of its public release, is likely to cause shockwaves throughout the federal workforce but fulfills a major promise that Trump made that everyone needs to come back to work right away.
According to a USA Today story from after the election on how Trump and billionaire Elon Musk—who will chair the newly-created Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE)—are aiming to bring the federal workforce back to work, there are still thousands and thousands of federal workers who do not show up to the office.
“The Office of Management and Budget reported in August that of 2.28 million federal workers, 46% were telework-eligible of which 10% were fully remote with no expectation to regularly go into the office,” the late November USA Today piece reads. “At 54%, more than half who could work from home worked fully on-site, according to the report which examined work habits in April and May.”
