US President Donald Trump has signed an executive order requiring federal workers to return to their offices, leading to chaos in some agencies. The new policy forces employees to work without desks, instead using closets and storage rooms.
Many workers have complained about the lack of space, citing reduced productivity as a result. “It’s complete chaos,” said one employee, who wished to remain anonymous. In contrast, another worker praised the arrangement, stating that their adequate workspace has allowed them to stay focused.
The executive order was issued in response to Trump’s return to the White House after a 20-month absence. The new policy is part of his efforts to restore order and efficiency in the federal government. However, some employees have expressed concerns about the impact on work quality and morale.
