Federal Workers Must Report Their Daily Location, Email Says

It's another act of control by those who detest remote work practices

Federal Election Commission (FEC) employees soon will be required to declare their work location in a daily questionnaire, part of the Trump administration’s effort to monitor compliance with return-to-office mandates and identify "unused space that may be ripe for disposal," according to an email sent to FEC employees and obtained by The Washington Post.

The email said the FEC had prepared the "Daily Occupancy Tool" in response to directives from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and the General Services Administration (GSA).

"Unlike the '5 bullets,' this is not a strong encouragement," said the email, referencing the command from Elon Musk that all federal workers submit weekly emails listing five accomplishments. The email noted in bold and italicized text, "All employees are required to submit this daily information."
