The 2020 pandemic resulted in many businesses moving employees work from home — and some have yet to return to their office spaces. President-elect Donald Trump said Monday that included 49,000 federal workers — and he vowed to fire them unless they come back.
"If people don't come back to work into the office, they will be dismissed," he said at a Mar-a-Lago press conference. "Somebody in the Biden administration gave a five-year waiver so that, for five years people don't have to come back into the office. It involved 49,000 people."

"For five years they just signed this thing, it is ridiculous," Trump continued. "So, it was like a gift to a union, and we are obviously going to stop it."
During Trump's time in the White House, he left to work from the "winter White House," which is what he called Mar-a-Lago, and his Bedminster golf club in New Jersey. There was an expectation that he was still working despite being in his clubs.
