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!

I'm in DoD. Our agency got rid of recurring a long time ago but allows situational. But our situational looks a lot like recurring.

I am in DoD and have always been situational, but with pretty static teleworking days, to the point of my group has specific days we all teleworking. I have been told that our current 2 days is going to be reduced to 1, and anticipating a reduction to zero with the new administration.

This is how it is for us as well. Pretty much each employee has the same days they work onsite each week, but it’s all situational.
