Glenn Youngkin, like Elon Musk has figured out a way to get rid of employees pretending to work.......make them come into the office. Apparently hundreds of VA state employees quit their jobs rather than actually be forced to show up. No doubt many people can and have for a long time been effective working at home. But many jobs actually require that an individual be physically present. But more to the point, when you have a job that doesn't involve any specific metric of performance (revenue, profit, etc.) except showing up, when you can't be fired except under the most extreme circumstances and when your customer has absolutely zero influence over your career why not pretend to work from home? Or he could have used Musk's method and tell them they can work at home as much as they want as long as they spend 40 hours per week in the office.
And given the lousy experience of trying to reach a govt employee "working" at home over the last two years I am fairly certain no one in VA will miss them. The only thing I would add to this strategy is a concurrent hiring freeze. Let the govt employee experience what the private sector has for decades, more work with fewer resources.
