Ken Martin, the chairman of the Democratic National Committee (DNC), has told staffers that they need to come back to working in person in the office and they are not happy about it.
The order isn’t even immediate. Martin wants people to come back to the workplace in February of 2026, so people have plenty of time to prepare for this change.
The work from home policy was put in place during Covid but these folks don’t want to let go of it.

DNC Staffers in Uproar Over Return-to-Office Order With 60-Day Notice
Staffers for the Democratic National Committee (DNC) are in uproar, as the new chair, Ken Martin, announced in an all-staff meeting on Wednesday that employees are expected to return to in-person work at the DNC headquarters in February, more than two years after the end of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Complaints began immediately, according to the New York Times, with the DNC’s union representatives describing the move, which granted a 60-day notice, as “callous” by the end of the day.
Martin addressed the complaints, telling staffers that if they didn’t like his policy, they should begin seeking new employment. According to people familiar with the meeting, the DNC chair said the return to work policy had been a “Band-Aid” that was long overdue in being ripped off.
Staffers argued that the Democrats had won the 2020 election working remotely, and that they could do the same in 2028.
“It was shocking to see the D.N.C. chair disregard staff’s valid concerns on today’s team call,” the union’s leadership wrote in a statement to the New York Times. “D.N.C. staff worked extremely hard to support historic wins for Democrats up and down the ballot last Tuesday, and this change feels especially callous considering the current economic conditions created by the Trump administration.”
They obviously let this policy drag on for way too long. Now people feel entitled to it.
This is hilarious.

The best part is that they still get two full months before they actually have to get out of bed 5 days week
Is this a political committee or a daycare? https://t.co/Nsjb8Z4EpX pic.twitter.com/8Db7QD8ELd

There are plenty of jobs that allow people to work from home. Perhaps these employees just need a career change.
They’re certainly not entitled to a work policy just because they prefer it.
