Not a "return to office" for the hundreds of employees who were hired as remote/telework. It's an illegal forced relocation.
The CFPB's return-to-office plan may be a stealth reduction-in-force effort. Don't believe me? It's new office has capacity for 550 people. The agency has around 650 in and around DC alone.
The question is whether the DC Circuit will want to review the plan.

They can delete the press releases about the CFPB's accomplishments, but they can't delete the billions of dollars that went back into consumers' wallets because of those accomplishments.
The CFPB removed around 1,700 website pages spanning press releases, consumer advisories, speeches, testimony and op-eds dating before February 2025 from its website.

The huge cuts to Supervision and Enforcement in particular show how unserious this plan is. Supervision is charged with overseeing thousands of banks & other firms to identify problems before they spread. Vought’s plan would cut the staff to just 77.

Here are federal employee responses, sorted by dept/agency, to the question about whether their organization's political leaders "maintain high standards of integrity."
Results are abysmal. In no agency do even 20% of respondents say their top leaders have integrity
