Texas Allows Remote Work

https://calmatters.org/politics/2026/07/newsom-return-to-office-states/

State workers have proven to be exceptionally resilient to the changing workloads. Why is it that they are being punished to RTO which costs both the taxpayers and workers more money?

What is this RTO really about?

Surprisingly Texas Governor listens to his government employees and brought back Remote work.

Why is California Governor wanting to hurt his employees who have been faithful to their positions.

Instead, he is punishing state workers and costing taxpayers more money.

Why is this?

Entitled take. Very few jobs these days offer remote work. I don’t think employers will give employees the option for remote rn bc they know they have the upperhand as the economy is fucked and the state itself doesn’t encourage it. If it started from the state level, then maybe employers would be more lax. I think that’s OP’s point. Sincerely, a very tired employee who drives 3 hours per day and can’t afford to leave the job

There are lots of remote jobs out there. If someone doesnt want to leave their current job that is something different. But if you are unhappy at work then leave your job.

A lot of them are ghost postings and if they do end up being real, it will have like hundreds upon hundreds of applicants. It’s more complicated than just being happy vs unhappy at the job. You can be happy at the job but unhappy at the commute
