Federal employees have returned to their offices full-time after a mandate from President Trump, but many face poor working conditions. Reports include cockroach infestations, lack of desks, and inadequate internet access, leading to chaos in several agencies. Workers at NASA, the IRS, and other agencies describe struggles to find workspace, with some resorting to working in supply closets or on the floor. Critics suggest the disarray is a tactic to push employees to resign amid ongoing workforce reductions. Despite claims from officials that adequate space is available, employees report overcrowding and insufficient facilities. The situation has caused stress and anxiety among staff, impacting their ability to perform their jobs effectively.
