Return to Office Policy for California State Employees

SOURCE www.breitbart.com
California Governor Gavin Newsom orders state employees to return to the office for at least four days a week, citing the legacy of work-from-home policies due to COVID-19 lockdowns. He directs agencies to update hybrid telework policies and streamlines hiring for former federal employees. Democrats appear to be copying a policy from Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
