The return of President Trump to the White House proves that bold leadership and common sense can cut through the fog of incompetence that has plagued our federal workforce. After implementing a decisive return-to-office order for federal employees, the numbers are speaking volumes. The share of federal employees working in person has surged, and while it’s not quite where it should be, it’s a clear step in the right direction.
Back in 2024, a staggering 61 percent of federal workers were enjoying the cushy comforts of remote work. Fast forward to 2025, and Trump’s strong stance has dropped that number to a mere 28 percent operating in flexible hybrid arrangements. It’s about time! The pandemic enabled a weak-kneed approach to work that’s eroded accountability and productivity. Federal employees should be rolling up their sleeves, not lounging in sweatpants with their laptops propped up on pillows.
Thanks to President Trump federal remote work has plummeted from 61% in 2024 to 28%.

Now, let’s talk about the current situation. According to recent surveys, the percentage of federal employees showing up in person has climbed to 46 percent. That’s nearly a 30-point jump in just one quarter! This is evidence that Trump’s renewed leadership is inspiring workers to reclaim their places in the offices that serve the American people. It’s nothing short of a breath of fresh air in an otherwise stagnant swamp.
It’s puzzling, however, that we are still hovering below the 50 percent mark. Do some federal workers really think that they can do their jobs effectively from the comfort of their homes? Apparently so. Meanwhile, the nationwide rate of remote-capable U.S. employees stuck in those same hybrid setups remains a sad 51 percent. Imagine the critique if these employees were in the private sector. They’d be out on their ears! Yet, liberally-infested agencies continue to coddle those who refuse to come back.
It’s clear: we need a strong commitment to returning to in-person work across all levels of government. The idea that federal employees are essential yet can complete their essential services while lounging from home is a joke. It’s time for every American citizen to demand accountability and fight against the weak and lazy mindsets that have been allowed to fester in our federal institutions.
Isn’t it about time we put Americans back to work—literally? We’ve seen what a lack of leadership looks like, and it’s high time we put competence and productivity front and center again. The American people deserve better than a government workforce that thinks remote work is the new norm. They need real leaders who inspire action and results. With Trump back in office, we are on the right track, but it’s up to all of us to keep pushing for what’s right.
