Amanda Scales, a former employee of Elon Musk’s AI company, was recently tapped to be the chief of staff at OPM.

The State Department has already begun to implement the president’s memo cancelling telework agreements as of March 1 and remote work arrangements July 1, with exceptions for military spouses and employees with disabilities.

A new memo from the human capital agency says federal agencies should change policies and require workers to be in the office full time by the end of the week.

Directives to end WFH arrangements are leaving some federal employees confused and scrambling to rework their lives. Why it matters: The clock has started.

Former Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy is done at President Trump's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) initiative, and is expected to launch a campaign for Ohio governor earl

The entrepreneur will continue leading Donald J. Trump’s government efficiency project before turning his attention to a campaign. He has encountered some turbulence with Mr. Trump, and with Elon Musk.

President Donald Trump signed an order to temporarily freeze hiring for federal agencies and a mandate for federal employees to return to their offices. It was one of several executive orders signed on his inauguration day.

Acting Director Rob Shriver said a one-size-fits-all policy for remote work would “dramatically impact” the government’s ability to handle challenges.

It was no surprise when President Donald Trump this week issued a memorandum to the heads of federal departments and agencies, essentially directing them to get their employees back to the office full-time.

President Trump has signed an executive action ordering federal agencies to bring their workers back to the office full time. Roughly 1.1 million federal employees are telework-eligible.
