Federal workers toil in hellish conditions while Trump golfs

Federal workers across the country are packing up their laptops and heading into hastily designated workspaces as their freedom to work from home comes to an abrupt end, thanks to arbitrary changes made by Elon Musk’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency and backed by President Donald Trump.

But even those who survived Musk’s mass firings, emailed buyout offers, and strange “What did you do last week” email ultimatums are now having to contend with an even worse reality.

Government offices around the nation don’t have the capacity to house the already diminished number of workers. In some cases, the offices aren’t even offices at all.

One USDA employee told NPR that they were given options for where they could return to an “office”—one of which was a literal storage unit with no heat, windows, or power.
