I was a high-performing federal worker and I left my job because of this. Now I’m making more money in a 100% remote role in private sector. On my way out / during my exit interviews, people kept saying, “Yeah, we’re seeing a lot of people leave over the telework policy.”

Republicans were the only ones asking for it tho, and obviously as soon as Biden did it, they stopped mentioning it.
There’s no reason to try and appease Republicans, because they’ll never give Dems credit, even if a moderate one does exactly what they want.
Or as we saw with the infrastructure bill
GOP: opposes bill purely for the optics
Dems: push it through anyway
GOP: “look what I did for my constituents”
