Two stats in this article really jump out:<p>> With fewer people in the office, the cost of excess federal office space has become a concern. Last year, the Government Accountability Office concluded that 17 of the 24 largest federal agencies used on average only 25% of their office space.<p>And the other was:<p>> As of August, 98% of Education Department employees were eligible to work from home and more than half were working remotely, according to the OMB. One of the agencies with the lowest office use rates, only 9%, was the federal government’s human resources agency, the Office of Personnel Management.<p>Those are crazy stats. I can understand that level of remote work for a company that is built for it from the ground up. But at the Federal government level that's a stretch.<p>It's not going to be difficult to convince the public that the intersection of federal bureaucracy and work-from-home is going to be rife with inefficiencies.
