(VitalNews.org) – Promising to shake the federal government to its core, President-elect Donald Trump is taking a stand against federal employees who refuse to show up for work.
In a bold move to save taxpayers billions, Trump vows to fire government workers clinging to COVID-era work-from-home privileges.
This decisive action has been labeled an effort to restore efficiency and accountability to bloated federal agencies.
Trump has declared his intention to challenge a Biden administration labor contract allowing remote work for countless federal employees.
The president-elect criticized the agreement as a “gift to a union” and plans to take legal action to stop it.
This move aligns with Trump’s commitment to draining the swamp and cutting government waste.
“If people don’t come back to work, come back into the office, they’re going to be dismissed,” Trump stated firmly.
To spearhead this initiative, Trump has announced the creation of a Department of Government Efficiency under business titans Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy.
This new department will be charged with cutting a staggering $2 trillion from the federal budget. It will focus on work-from-home policies that have allowed government bureaucrats to slack off on the public’s dime.
Musk and Ramaswamy declared:
“Requiring federal employees to come to the office five days a week would result in a wave of voluntary terminations that we welcome: If federal employees don’t want to show up, American taxpayers shouldn’t pay them for the Covid-era privilege of staying home.”
The federal government currently employs over 4 million people, with nearly half eligible for some form of telework.
This massive remote workforce has led to decreased productivity and accountability and increased costs for taxpayers.
In addition to cracking down on remote work, Trump has promised to unleash American energy and cut burdensome regulations that have stifled economic growth.
He plans to speed up permits and approvals for businesses investing $1 billion or more in the United States, ensuring that America remains competitive on the global stage.
While some critics claim that implementing this proposal could lead to a significant brain drain in government operations, supporters argue that it will weed out unmotivated employees and attract those truly committed to serving their country.
