Virginia State Workers Are Fleeing Conservative Governor Glenn Youngkin, And This Is A Good Thing

No, it’s not because of his conservative politics, though no doubt, this has caused some heartburn for the liberals in Richmond.

Virginia Republican Governor Glenn Youngkin is experiencing a sizable state worker exodus.

Approximately 300 workers decided to leave. And it was due to his telework policy.

The governor wants Virginia’s state workers back in their offices, and it seems “that was a bridge too far for these employees.” (via WRIC):

More than 300 employees from five state agencies have resigned since Gov. Glenn Youngkin announced Virginia’s new telework policy in early May, according to records obtained by 8News.

This includes 183 Virginia Department of Transportation employees, 28 of whom cited “telework options” as the reason for leaving. Two VDOT workers who listed telework as the reason did move to another state agency, records obtained by 8News after filing a Freedom of Information Act request show.

On May 5, Youngkin updated the state’s telework policy for all state employees to begin working in-person full-time by July 5, a change the governor’s office stressed would provide “options for and supports the use of telework where appropriate.” Youngkin said it would help “balance the demands of government services with the needs of our public servants.”

Note to Staff: If you cannot work with the new governor, you should leave.

This is what should have been done in D.C. when President Trump arrived. And sadly, it did not.

Government employees who claimed to serve the government no matter who is in charge picked sides instead. And their disloyalty caused a hot mess.

People who should have been doing nothing but pushing paper started to undermine the Trump administration’s ability to govern.

This is exactly why trust in government is at its lowest point, especially among young voters.

Note to Incoming Republicans: Get rid of the democrat trash.
