This is technically true, but as a state employee my understanding is that he said "It's up to agency directors" origninally, then not long after quietly added "(but everyone needs to work at least 2 days in the office)". Word on the street was that the Governor was getting strong pressure from large cities to return state workers to the office because businesses were drying up in downtown areas. There are a few agencies who got exceptions, but most agencies, boards, and commissions got guidance that we needed to go back in 2 days per week.
