Hybrid work schedules for federal employees have plummeted under President Donald Trump, even though they remain widespread for other U.S. workers whose duties don’t require them to be onsite.

Data released by Gallup on Wednesday shows the prevalence of hybrid arrangements — a combination of at-home and in-office work — has decreased only slightly for the workforce at large over the past two quarters, dropping from 55% to 51%. At the same time, the number of those who work fully remote has ticked up 2%.

But the federal workforce is a different story. While 61% of feds worked under a hybrid model in late 2024, only 28% reported doing so in surveys Gallup conducted in May, after the Trump administration began its crackdown on work-from-home scheduling.

So even though hybrid work in general has endured post-pandemic, “the hybrid era is over” within the federal government, Gallup reported.

Bringing federal workers back into the office full-time has been a priority for the White House since Trump was inaugurated. Although administration officials argued employees are more productive in-person, it’s also clear they wanted to make the jobs more stressful and less enjoyable so that many people would quit.

A lot of workers viewed the elimination of hybrid work — along with more petty demands, like making employees justify their jobs in weekly emails — as a change meant to incentivize taking Trump’s “deferred resignation” deal, in which they could give up their jobs and be paid through September. Some 150,000 workers ended up accepting buyout offers from the administration.

In addition to killing hybrid arrangements, the White House has also moved to end fully remote positions for many people who live more than 50 miles from an agency office. These workers were given the choice of either moving their families or quitting their jobs.

Federal unions have bristled at the administration’s mandates, noting they often violate hybrid- and remote-work stipulations outlined in collective-bargaining agreements secured under Trump’s predecessor, former President Joe Biden. The Trump administration claimed those protections were “unlawful and cannot be enforced” since they conflicted with his executive order forcing workers back to the office.

Trump had vowed after winning the election in November that he would fire workers who didn’t start showing up in person.

“If people don’t come back to work, come back into the office, they’re going to be dismissed,” the president-elect said in December.

The Gallup data suggests these drastic changes make the federal government an outlier, not part of a broader trend that spells the death knell of working from home.

There have been many stories recently about high-profile companies tiring of hybrid-work schedules and dragging employees back to the office to boost productivity. But surveys indicate the flexible arrangements have been persistent in the private sector, with only “minor shifts” showing up in the survey data since 2022, Gallup said.

And although hybrid workers are showing up in the office more often, the change has only been modest.

Whereas these workers reported spending 42% of their time in the office in 2022, they now spend 46% of their workweek there on average. And according to Gallup, that increase in office time all happened during 2023, with no change over the past year.
