President Donald Trump issued an order requiring federal workers to be in the office full time.

Some federal workers told Business Insider it would create a major strain on commutes and family life.

Others said they were willing to return to work full time and saw value in the mandate.

Business Insider spoke with federal workers who offered split perspectives on the order.

"Morale is so low right now in this agency," they said, adding, "We'll have even more people wanting to leave." In addition, one Treasury employee said the RTO order would lead to losing staff, including pushing some people into retirement. They predicted the possibility of a "brain drain of senior, knowledgeable employees.".
