     @icedquinn there is a slim but real possibility that work from home abuse is substantially higher in the federal government

     @sun seattle times has a list of orange's shitstack of orders and this was one of them

     @sun @icedquinn In addition, most people are not as self-directed as they or anyone else think. Getting them under a watchful eye of a supervisor is essential.

     @zaitcev @sun the schools were designed to make people stupid and helpless like this in the first place, though

     @zaitcev @icedquinn his thought process is probably as simple as "the stereotype of federal workers is they are lazy so I will put them back in an office"
     
     the other possibility is he straight up already got lobbied by companies that rent floor space to federal offices, we're undergoing a commercial real estate bubble pop right now

     @sun @zaitcev i have been informed in meatspace that real estate folk might be partly pushing this shit
     
     i was asking what do companies get by pushing deeply unpopular commute rules for jobs that don't even sensibly require a commute

     @zaitcev @sun there are some benefits to in person stuff but elon is the guy who fired all the personal chefs so i doubt its anything more than a control thing or him thinking of some IBM case study that idiots can't be trusted

     @sun @icedquinn No, it's worse. Musk is a gigantic believer in the office collaboration. I watched him make videos about it, showcasing working conditions in SpaceX.

     @zaitcev @sun my general feelings to things is to hand out directions and due dates and then just be available to put out fires / fixes and if they can't figure out how to function they can get a new job.
     
     this kind of dictat is just generally improper too because its making micromanagement decisions about someone else's fiefdom :cirno_doubt:
