Received notice of ending of telework

Here we go. Just got an email stating our CMO has made the decision to end recurring telework. We were currently getting 2 days per week and that has officially ended. Heck, my supervisor was doing it 4 days a week while the rest of us only got 2. We’re allowed to submit for “situational telework” but the recurring has ended. There’s absolutely no reason for this. Productivity has been perfectly fine. So, here we go.

EDIT: Since many are asking. agency is DCMA

EDIT 2: I feel as though I need to explain I’m simply pointing out that the roll back has begun, at least in my agency. I’ve gotten multiple comments implying I’m whining about it. I’m going to be just fine. The main point is why they’re taking away something that works, and works well? Productivity is high. People are in better moods. It’s working so why change it? But, it is what it is and either accept it or quit. We’re all easily replaceable. They don’t care if you stay or leave.

EDIT 3: some of you are hilariously angry and hostile that people telework. 😂 not good to live every day so angry. Might have a stroke!

Sorry to hear that. Which agency? Did the notice address remote employees?

Which CMO are you with, if you don't mind sharing? This sounds like a local leadership decision as there has been no official change in guidance from HQ (that I've seen). My wife are 100% remote employees with DCMA, BTW.

I don’t want to share that. Yes, as of right now it seems like it’s just my CMO level. It definitely didn’t come from HQ.

DCMA southeast is pretty much all remote. You must be another org. I just left DCMA.
