President Trump signed an executive order requiring federal employees to report in-person to their work sites full-time.

HHS employees are trying to figure out how the order will be implemented in their specific situation.

The in-office order comes as the General Services Administration announced plans to significantly reduce the federal government's real estate footprint.

"This is an imperious, dictatorial, tin-ear approach to management," one employee says.

"It's not about efficiency; it's just about vindictiveness," another says.

Another employee says telework made it easier to work longer hours when necessary.
