Melissa Holyoak, a Republican commissioner on the Federal Trade Commission, has been working remotely from Utah since her Senate confirmation in March 2024, contradicting President Trump's mandate for employees to work in person. Her rare office visits drew attention, as she seemed to prioritize family life over her regulatory duties in Washington D.C. Colleagues expressed surprise at her decision to not relocate for her role, emphasizing the expectation for senior officials to be present at the agency's headquarters.
"I would never see her in the office. She would only fly in for the holiday parties."
"Most of the staff expected she was going to move to DC. This is a presidentially appointed, Senate-confirmed position. For someone at that level to phone it in was surprising."
