Ever since the pandemic, employers across the country have been struggling to bring workers back into the office. Jeff Bezos has decreed that Amazon will end the remote option beginning in 2025. Incoming president Donald Trump is hoping to do the same for the federal government—he’ll certainly have his work cut out for him: A bombshell report by Senator Joni Ernst (R., Iowa) revealed that as little as 6 percent of federal workers are showing up in person. But one Veterans Affairs facility in Tennessee found a sort of balls-to-the-wall approach to luring its workers back.
Congressional investigators have learned that 12 employees of the Mountain Home VA medical center engaged in an orgy and one man in particular bragged about having sex with 32 female coworkers. Come again?
The ins and outs of the investigation remain vague, and there are still many holes in this story. But as one congressional aide told Breitbart, which first broke the news, "The fact that the culture would even allow this to happen in the first place is absolutely wild and it all starts at the top."
Indeed, members of the House Committee on Veterans Affairs are demanding answers from VA secretary Denis McDonough. They also seek "extensive documentation." If only they could get a participant to give them the blow-by-blow, then maybe they can get to the bottom of this.
Several low-level VA officials have already resigned, including the man who bedded 32 of his colleagues. And while we still don’t know his name, we think he did a bang-up job.
At a time when office morale is low and there’s little desire to work in person, our man at the VA took matters into his own hands. Sure, he probably shouldn’t have boasted about his exploits on a government-run online forum—to quote the great George Costanza, "Was that wrong?" Of course it was. But when you drill down to it, he was simply using his head. It’s what makes him a Washington Free Beacon Man of the Year.
