"Taxpayers expect the same from public servants, but telework policies and outcomes are unclear across the federal government," Sessions said."These letters will provide necessary information to allow for increased oversight and transparency." Boebert said that while"many hard-working Americans were working through the pandemic, federal bureaucrats were lounging at home and not even logging in to their computers."
