The world’s richest man, Elon Musk has said that the majority of government workers in the US don’t show up at work.

Musk stated this on his X handle, saying that the number of those who show up to work is less than 1% of the workforce.

He wrote, “If you exclude security guards & maintenance personnel, the number of government workers who show up in person and do 40 hours of work a week is closer to 1%! Almost no one.”

The billionaire was responding to a US Senate report which disclosed that only 6% of federal workers show up in person on a full-time basis.

According to the report, 6% of the federal workforce “report in-person on a full-time basis” while almost one-third of federal workers are remote on a full-time basis, in a sharp turn-around from the pre-pandemic era in which only 3% teleworked daily, a report from Senator Joni Ernst’s office found.

Ernst’s office had been investigating the federal government’s telework protocols for the past year and a half.

The senator has long crusaded against the rise in remote federal work, is planning to reveal the fruits of her office’s year-and-a-half inquiry to Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) co-heads Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy during their visit to the Capitol Thursday.

He wrote in the report, “The nation’s capital is a ghost town, with government buildings averaging an occupancy rate of 12[%]. “If federal employees can’t be found at their desks, exactly where are they?”

And person will say Nigeria this and that... Govt workers are lazy set of employees

Fallout of corona virus pandemic that made more people start working from home
Even In Nigeria I know people that didn't go to their offices for a year and half

Can't she just mind her business?
Make she rest abeg, she thinks other people aren't aware Federal government workers everywhere in the world don't always show up?

A staff is meant to be at work always but eventualities happen...

Due to the Naira gain

Most of the workers are now working remotely. U don't have to b jumping bike, fueling ur car and hurrying to work like a zombie.

It so sad that civil servants in Nigeria spend nothing less than 50% of their earnings on transportation.
