CONTROVERSIAL FEDERAL WORKER

December 23, 2025 by Nadia

Rationale

Officials note that only about 6% of federal employees in Washington, D.C., work on-site.

The administration sees this as a productivity issue and views the program as a way to reshape the workforce.

Administration Response

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt denied claims of a “political purge,”

saying the policy focuses on efficiency and savings, not politics.

Debate and Impact

Supporters call it a voluntary reform to modernize government.

Critics warn it could weaken services by pushing experienced staff to leave,

raising concerns about morale and public service effectiveness.
