Federal workers are struggling to comply with President Trump 's executive order requiring them to return to in-person work when they don’t have any designated office space.

Several agencies eliminated office space at the peak of the pandemic with personnel moving to work remotely or to a hybrid model.

Others were hired as fully remote workers and have never been required to work in person.

The return to work order coincides with a massive effort to reduce the size of the federal workforce, the largest employer in the nation.

Concerns exist about whether the buildings are ready or even fit to work.

In New York City , the Jacob K. Javits Federal Building is the tallest federal office space in the United States .

A federal judge ruled in Trump ’s favor on Wednesday by reinstating his “ Fork in the Road ” deferred resignation offer.

Roughly 75,000 federal workers took the resignation offer, which represents less than 4% of the more than 2 million federal workers currently employed.
