California Governor Gavin Newsom has issued an executive order requiring state employees to return to in-person work at least four days per week starting July 1. The move reverses previous remote work policies and aligns with broader efforts to revitalize downtown Sacramento, where government offices play a key role in the local economy.
Newsom's decision follows similar return-to-office mandates seen across the country. The order affects thousands of state workers who had been allowed to work remotely for part of the week.
The shift is expected to have significant implications for commuting, office space usage, and local businesses.

This is a disappointing step backward—flexible work options have been a huge win for workers, the environment, and even productivity. Forcing people back just to prop up downtown businesses ignores the real needs of employees and the progress we’ve made toward a better work-life balance.

So the government forced people to work from home, and now it’s forcing them back to the office—classic bureaucratic overreach. Shouldn’t employers and employees be the ones deciding what works best for them, instead of politicians trying to micromanage everything? This is just another example of the state thinking it knows better than the people actually doing the work.
