    This makes me curious on if those departments actually hire remote workers often. It appears it’s not often

    They are only just piloting remote work programs at this point.

    The IRS already has more than 500 posts of duty across the U.S., which give potentially hybrid or remote employees an opportunity to work in-person on days when necessary.

    That’s a small fry compared to their near 80k workers

      Well, yes. Its hard to investigate something from a distance that’s not entirely online or financial. Even then, physical evidence is at a place you’d need to go to. And for police, we do want them in the jurisdictions they’re policing.
