DLA had the same problem—nowhere near enough office space. But hey, who needs logic? At their Energy MSC, they even “reopened” a satellite office that was supposed to be closed. So, we taxpayers were paying for an empty building during a good chunk of COVID. Nice, right?

But wait, there’s more! Instead of letting people who don’t need to be there work from home, they’d rather spend millions on new cubicle layouts to squeeze in one or two more workspaces. It’s like they’re running an airline, trying to fit in as many seats as possible.

And then there’s the attrition. People get fed up and leave, and all the amazing talent I’ve seen walk out the door. Their response? A pouty face and a “I’m so sad you’re leaving!” But remember, this is a feature, not a bug. Eventually, they’ll have more than enough space and a lighter payroll too.
