Stupid Stupid Government Work, Losing employees because they want to watch their workerbees

So stupidity isn't just in the corporate environment… My wife works for the county, and is retiring early because they won't allow workers to work from home every other day. During the worst of it she went to the office every 3rd day. Then every other day. And now that it's “safe” they have all the employees working in the office every day, and interacting with the public. New hires aren't paid as well (Thank you “levels”), and when people hear that they have to be in the office every day they decide they are no longer interested. Now the county is losing longtime employees who know how to work, how to do the job, spot fraud, and attend court hearings against people committing fraud. All because the managers want to see their workers at their cubicles everyday. No wonder “The Great Retirement” is a thing.
