Kelly Loeffler, the newly appointed head of the Small Business Administration (SBA), is making waves just days into her tenure after a viral moment inside the agency’s headquarters.
While touring the offices, Loeffler was confronted with a sea of empty cubicles, prompting her to call for an immediate return to in-person work.

In a video posted to X, Loeffler expressed her frustration over the lack of staff physically present in the office, noting that about 90 percent of SBA employees were still working remotely.

“It’s my second day here at the SBA,” Loeffler said in the video.
“I could not be more excited to be here. So I thought I’d take a walk. And what I found is that exactly what’s been said is true. About 90 percent of our employees are working from home. Well, that ends Monday with President Trump’s order to return to work.”
This Friday afternoon, you could hear a pin drop at SBA HQ.
That ends Monday as @POTUS orders every federal employee back to the office, full-time and in-person.

The video quickly gained traction online, amassing over 26 million views.
Elon Musk also took notice, replying to Loeffler’s post with a blunt reaction: “No one at work.”

Loeffler was confirmed as the head of the SBA by the Senate in a bipartisan 52-46 vote on Wednesday.
Forty-six Democratic senators opposed her appointment.
As the leader of the agency, she will oversee its $1 billion budget, which provides loans, grants, and financial assistance to small-business owners across the country.
Loeffler has also pledged to donate more than $200,000 of her annual salary, continuing her previous practice of donating her Senate salary when she served from 2019 to 2021.
Her directive to bring employees back into the office aligns with President Trump’s broader push to end excessive remote work in federal agencies, emphasizing accountability and workplace engagement.
Loeffler’s stance on in-person work reflects the Trump administration’s broader effort to bring federal employees back to government offices.
Over the past several years, remote work policies have become increasingly prevalent across federal agencies, raising concerns about efficiency and productivity.
Her move to reinstate in-office operations signals a shift toward increased oversight and engagement at the SBA.
It remains to be seen how employees will respond to the directive, but the administration has made it clear that the era of widespread remote work in government offices is coming to an end.
