A sobering report by the Public Building Reforms Board paints a grim picture of federal employees’ blatant disregard for duty.
The report found that 94% of federal workers do not show up in person regularly, highlighting the poor service delivery and complacency in government offices.
The Department of Energy, the Agency for Global Media, and the U.S. Department of Agriculture topped the list of absentee/absconders with abysmal occupancy rates of 0%, 2%, and 6%, respectively.
The Department of Veterans Affairs (7%), the Environmental Protection Agency (8%), the Department of Labor (9%), and the Nuclear Regulation Commission (9%) followed closely with their appalling numbers.
Federal agencies with the highest office occupancy rates include the Department of Commerce, the Department of Housing and Urban Development, and the Office of Personnel Management, each with an attendance rate of a measly 11%.

Trump’s efficiency czars, Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, have promised to end government bloat by streamlining government operations by 80%. With over 90% of federal employees not showing up for duty, Musk and Ramaswamy have more than enough room to wiggle.
Trump’s efficiency czars have alluded to the fact that politicians have shied away from making the federal government more efficient by cutting back the bureaucracy while saving taxpayers’ money.

“Politicians have talked for a long time about cutting the size of government,” Ramaswamy said. “But when they get inside, they go native. If we’re ever going to crush the bureaucracy, it’s going to happen from the outside.”
Trump has proposed confronting the bureaucracy in Washington D.C. by reintroducing Schedule F, which would allow him to directly fire federal employees.
