Funny that the executive order directs a return to office with a nearly non-existent timeline, specifically saying that everyone has to have a desk and a place to sit and work without resorting to extreme measures.

Almost as if this whole thing was extremely short-sighted. But they wouldn't do that, would they? And surely not dozens of times within the span of a week.

I assume part of the plan is to fire a number of people equal to the number who don't have desks by saying that there simply isn't enough office space for them to work.

That would follow the Republican 'cause a problem, then blame the problem to justify the horrible shit you wanted to' strategy that their voting base apparently loves. It worked when they cut taxes to justify spending cuts and whining about the immigration problems they caused and all of the other shit they do.
