In a series of sweeping executive actions, President Trump has mandated a full return to in-person work for federal employees and instituted a hiring freeze across various agencies. These directives mark a significant shift from the remote work model that had become prevalent among federal workers. Trump has specifically ordered federal employees to cease teleworking and return to their offices full-time. Additionally, the executive orders impose increased scrutiny on hiring practices, particularly within the IRS, indicating a concerted effort to reduce the size of the federal workforce. These measures are expected to have a substantial impact on agencies and workers, drawing mixed reactions from various stakeholders.
