WASHINGTON: The chairman of the Federal Trade Commission on Friday acknowledged staff anxiety over returning to full-time in the office at an agency where around 80% work from home most of the week, but said the COVID pandemic is long over and workers need to be at their desks.
In one of his earliest executive orders, President Donald Trumpordered federal workers back to the office. FTC chairman Andrew Ferguson, who noted that Trump was fulfilling a campaign promise with the order, expects staff to revert to full-time in office by March 3, according to an internal memo seen by Reuters.
