As I wrote in my blog last month about our move back to New Hampshire and my wife moving back closer to her federal office,

“There’s also a looming threat that while she is permanent full-time remote, one way the new administration will ‘trim the fat’ of federal employees is to mandate 40 hours a week in the office. So, we think it’s also very timely to be back in our hometown in case that happens which is very likely.”

Well, it would appear that as of Friday, all federal employees with telework/remote exceptions will be required to return to full time work at their assigned office within 30 days or lose their job.

So while I’m so happy to be home closer to friends and family and working at an amazing job, we moved back home just in time. I figured this would happen in the name of “government efficiency”
