At this point, if your federal contracts still exist, consider yourself lucky.
Not yet, but I’m definitely nervous about it. I’ve heard of some companies quietly pushing people back in, especially for client-facing roles. Have you gotten any hints that your company might do the same?
Lots of the Fed locations barely have room for their Fed employees, even with all the cuts. Hard to believe they will prioritize bringing contractors into offices if it’s not entirely necessary (i.e. cleared or confidential work)
Exactly. That actually costs them more.

One of the cabinet agencies is short approximately 100k seats for FTEs nationwide, not a chance they're getting contractors in in the foreseeable future.
It will be an agency by agency decision and it is impossible for there to be a one size fits all contractor to client site RTO.
It’s going to happen. But not for a while. All this Feds stuff needs to settle out. So I’m thinking something in FY26 contractors will need to head in.
Full RTO, 5x a week. Seems to allow situational telework, and dependent on each client. Ours wants us in full time since, if not, there would be two people in office on our team. Started mid February
Though we were previously hybrid, 3x a week, so had permanent desks
It’s going to be a sh!t show for a while, in any case. People are being let go and brought back, or they’re being told to report to offices that are hundreds of miles away from where they live. It’s a disaster. Contractor butts in seats are the least of anyone’s worries.
