A Federal Ghetto: Employees Describe Work Conditions After Return To Office Mandate
Briefly

A recent survey by Federal News Network reveals significant dissatisfaction among federal employees following the return-to-office order. Out of over 5,500 participants, about 80% claimed that work conditions had not improved. Many employees reported issues such as inadequate parking, unstable internet connections, and low morale. Some employees described working in crowded conditions without assigned desks, while others faced challenges due to a lack of basic amenities, underscoring a grim reality for federal workers adjusting back to in-person work expectations.
I spend time and money commuting longer to do exactly what I do from home, with less productivity, more background noise, more interruptions, worse amenities, worse food and no one I actually work with.
Nothing has improved. Actually, all areas are worse. Limited bandwidth makes it harder to do my job. There are long lines to get onto the campus and in the building. There's no parking, no cafeteria and low morale.
I still do not have an assigned desk, and I'm in a conference room with 20 others. We packed in like sardines.
Many federal employees reported setting up shop in conference rooms, training rooms, cafeterias, and hallways. In extreme cases, some workers say they are working out of storage closets.
