Agencies should aim for a 30-day deadline to implement Trump’s return-to-office executive order, according to a memo from the Office of Personnel Management.
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.
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.
According to the memo, OPM is requiring all federal agencies to notify their employees by Friday at 5 p.m. of their compliance with the executive order. Agencies are also mandated to update their telework policies with new language emphasizing in-person attendance.
The Office of Personnel Management has created a new email account meant to collect reports of suspected diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives, one of a series of moves the Trump administration has taken to slash DEI efforts across the federal workforce.
Longtime federal workers say they have become pawns in a battle for political control, that their DEI work is misunderstood and they fear they're under surveillance.
Employees of diversity, equity and inclusion programs are to be placed on administrative leave by 5 p.m. Wednesday. Agencies were told to make plans for layoffs.
OPM asked federal agencies to compile lists of workers to consider terminating, reflecting DOGE's goals to cut the government workforce.
A new Office of Personnel Management memo also tells agencies to determine whether or not the new federal hires should be retained at the agency.
President Donald Trump ordered the end of diversity, equity and inclusion programs across the federal government and moved to have officials working on them put on leave by the time they clock out from their jobs on Wednesday.
Here’s what we know so far about President Trump’s executive order on requiring federal employees to return to work in person full-time.
VERIFY readers asked if workers were really told they would face “adverse consequences” if they did not help identify “disguised” diversity and inclusion roles.
