Trimming the Fat: Over 300 Virginia state employees resign in wake of Gov. Youngkin’s telework policy

July 10, 2022 by 1 Comment

RICHMOND, Va. (WRIC) — More than 300 employees from five state agencies have resigned since Gov. Glenn Youngkin announced Virginia’s new telework policy in early May, according to records obtained by 8News.

This includes 183 Virginia Department of Transportation employees, 28 of whom cited “telework options” as the reason for leaving. Two VDOT workers who listed telework as the reason did move to another state agency, records obtained by 8News after filing a Freedom of Information Act request show.

On May 5, Youngkin updated the state’s telework policy for all state employees to begin working in-person full-time by July 5, a change the governor’s office stressed would provide “options for and supports the use of telework where appropriate.” Youngkin said it would help “balance the demands of government services with the needs of our public servants.”

    I worked for the state for 30 years: it’s time for people to be back in the office. They’re paid ti service the public. Vaccinations are available and no excuse to stay out any longer.
