during COVID? Telework amongst the Federal workforce has been extremely widespread for at least 10 years, probably longer. It was proven long ago that it saved money and increased productivity to allow telework by many Federal employees. So, of course, since it's hugely successful, Republicans insist on stopping it. Republicans hate government so they can't allow government to do things that actually work well.
