The new head of the Small Business Administration (SBA), Kelly Loeffler, is making headlines after a viral moment during her tour of the agency’s headquarters. While walking through an office filled with empty cubicles, Loeffler expressed her frustration about the lack of in-person staff presence and emphasized the need for employees to return to their workstations. She promptly directed the SBA team to resume operations in the office, signaling a strong commitment to restoring productivity and engagement within the agency.
“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.”
In addition to the 17 million views Loeffler’s video on X received, Elon Musk also reacted to her post, saying, “No one at work.”
On Wednesday, the Senate confirmed Kelly Loeffler as the new head of the Small Business Administration by a bipartisan vote of 52-46. Forty-six Democratic senators opposed her nomination.
Loeffler will oversee the SBA’s $1 billion budget, focusing on providing loans, grants, and financial guidance to small-business owners nationwide. Additionally, she has pledged to donate more than $200,000 of her annual salary, following her practice of donating her $174,000 Senate salary from 2019 to 2021.

The Most Revolutionary Act 
About damn time! They should have been back at their cubicles long before now. Every single government worker should be in the damn office. Every single corporation needs to follow suit. I am so damn tired of hearing dogs barking and babies crying when I am trying to conduct business. That is outrageous!!!!

Sorry, Shelby. Not understanding your reference to barking dogs and crying babies. I’m a little slow at the moment. Please explain.

Many people are still working from home and so when you call to get anything done, since these workers are working from home, dogs are barking, their children are screaming and they have to get off the phone to close a door since if they were actually on the job at the job site, I would hear none of that mess. It is totally unprofessional.

What, exactly, does the Small Business Administration do? Why does it have a $1 billion budget?

As I understand, Katherine, it mainly gives loans to small business owners to help them get started in business. Banks have ceased to provide loans to small business owners.
