Of those, nearly 60% said they\u2019ve conducted at least one interview.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In forums online, employees have said they\u2019re not surprised by the announcement, though one user on Reddit said policies like this will encourage the most experienced cadre of workers at SBA to retire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whether or not that really happens remains to be seen. And in the meantime, federal unions representing a combined 1.2 million non-postal federal employees say their independently negotiated telework agreements should safeguard employees from unilaterally made changes to working conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the same time, Republican lawmakers in particular have lambasted agencies for continuing telework through a series of letters and Congressional hearings, with another <a href=\"https:\/\/oversight.house.gov\/release\/sessions-to-hold-hearing-to-assess-impact-of-biden-admins-federal-telework-policies\/\" target=\"_blank\">scheduled for Sept. 14. <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAccording to President Biden, the COVID pandemic has been over for 11 months. Why the federal government is just now planning on getting back to work is beyond me,\u201d said Rep. Roger Williams, R-Texas, chairman of the House Committee on Small Business Williams,<a href=\"https:\/\/smallbusiness.house.gov\/uploadedfiles\/08.14.2023_-_letter_to_sba_re_return_to_work.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"> in a statement on Aug. 14.<\/a> \u201cEven though Main Street has long been back to work, the SBA is still allowing its employees to only come into work twice a week. It\u2019s time they start marching to the same tune.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI sincerely hope Administrator Guzman listens to the American people and reconsiders her policy of remote work so that all small businesses can better receive the assistance they need,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Senior Executive Service employees and all
