After years at home, thousands of Minnesota state workers are about to return to the office
Briefly

The Minnesota government's recent decision to implement a hybrid work policy is generating mixed feelings among state employees. With workers required to report to the office at least 50% of the time, employees like Wade Miller express their dissatisfaction due to increased commute burdens. Unions are challenging this move, believing it overlooks employee needs, while management promotes it as a means to utilize underused workspaces. As implementation begins, the future remains uncertain for many state workers facing adjustment pains or potential job changes.
Wade Miller has worked at the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources for more than two decades. He might soon be on his way out.
Copying the experience of private employers, the state is implementing a hybrid work policy that unions argue does not align with employees' needs.
Miller is among the many employees who could face significant challenges with the new commuting requirement under the state’s stricter return-to-office policy.
Although some employees anticipate the return to the office with excitement, others do so with dread, highlighting the divide in acceptance of the new policy.
