"‘*It was messy’: Federal workers ordered to return to offices without desks, Wi-Fi and lights* CNN
*Millions of federal workers were ordered to return to offices across the country in recent weeks, marking an end to Covid-era rules allowing more flexibility to work from home.
Many have come back to workplaces that weren’t ready for them.
In one Department of Health and Human Services office, there was no Wi-Fi or full electricity in the first hours when people returned last week.*
Yes, millions
The chaos. the expense the utter lack of planning
"The problems, confusion and slipups that federal employees told CNN they’ve encountered returning to the office have only added to the chaos inside the workforce six weeks into a Trump administration determined to slash the size and scope of the federal government.
Some federal workers being told to return to the office have no space to return to. At least two office buildings used by the Interior Department in the Western US were told last week their leases had been canceled, according to a source familiar with the matter — while a third office housing hundreds of people was notified its lease will be up in June.
One source said the General Services Administration, which manages federal buildings, did not appear to coordinate the lease terminations with Interior officials, leaving employees unclear of what to do.
An Interior spokesperson said the department was “working with GSA to ensure facilities or alternative options will be available” for employees".
