Kind of like a no-show job?

 

Are you talking about this?  What is it even talking about?  Is this just about people working from home?  Kinda hard to tell, it’s a poorly written opinion piece.

I think they are these are workers that have been told not to come to work for disciplinary reasons or because there is an ongoing investigation into them.  The old paid administrative leave.  At least it seemed pretty clear that's what they were talking about about the DHS and VA employees referenced in the article.  Not sure how those numbers add to $3.1 billion.

Gotcha.  Yeah as someone else said earlier I’m definitely in favor of making it easier for the government to fire people for legitimate disciplinary or performance reasons.
