Government employees are having a hard time coping with the audacity of the Trump administration which is forcing them to actually work at their offices.
The entitled federal workers have been throwing tantrums on Reddit where Turning Point USA’s Charlie Kirk noted some were calling for a boycott of local businesses near their offices.
“Heads of all departments and agencies in the executive branch of Government shall, as soon as practicable, take all necessary steps to terminate remote work arrangements and require employees to return to work in-person at their respective duty stations on a full-time basis, provided that the department and agency heads shall make exemptions they deem necessary,” reads Trump’s executive order.
Over on Reddit, federal employees are in a total meltdown that President Trump has ordered them to return to the office and get back to work. Right now, the top suggestion is for employees to boycott all the local small businesses near their office — the restaurants, grocery… pic.twitter.com/sGP9Pu83ln

“More than 50% of government employees work in-person at jobs that require them to be on-site each day, according to the American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE), a labor union representing more than 750,000 federal workers,” NBC Washington reported, adding that “About 10% of federal personnel have fully remote positions.”
According to the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO):
- “Remote work is a work arrangement where an employee performs work from an alternate worksite (generally the person’s residence) and is not expected to report to an agency location on a regular and recurring basis.”
- “It is distinct from telework, where workers are expected to report to an agency location on a regular basis and have regularly scheduled days where they work from an alternate worksite.”
But workers having a meltdown on Reddit earned rebukes and mockery on X where social media users had little to no sympathy.
Imagine that, they have to work and they are pissed.
Get your ass up and go to work like the rest of the country.🔥

Charlie Kirk is absolutely right. Federal employees throwing a tantrum because President Trump wants them back in the office is the perfect example of the entitlement that plagues the bureaucracy. These individuals are funded by taxes paid by hardworking private-sector employees,… pic.twitter.com/U9qgZwOSrO

There is too much entitlement in these government employees. In the private sector, unproductive employees are terminated because the company can’t survive paying people who do not do their job. Somehow, government employees feel they deserve to get paid without performing.

If these morons hadn’t been to the office in 4 years, I find it unlikely they’ve been patronizing those businesses by their office for the last four years. So seems to me those businesses are used to their absence.

When employees have meltdowns because someone asked them to do the thing they’re paid to do…
…that’s how you know entitlement has reached Olympic levels.
