effectively the only tool at their disposal is RTO and that ain’t gonna work. some folk with low mileage might leave but not in numbers to make any kind of “tangible dent.” people won’t be leaving gov jobs just because they have to go back to the office… where they were most days before C19

RTO and moving the agency across the country is probably a fairly effective way to axe a lot of employees.

might be effective for some percentage of govies with 5-ish years in. GS in double-digits won’t be deterred by this move few years away from retirement. of a small sample size of about dozen in this group I am friends with not a single person said “shit, I am out.” gov jobs are too good to abandon. unlike twitter/x where folks that left were likely back to work wherever they wanted to be with same-ish (or better) pay/benefits
