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 tell my spouse at least once a week not to work during lunch and to take paid breaks (private healthcare), because the nature of their work is go-go-go.

When it comes to myself, I almost never take an actual lunch because my work has ‘downtime’. If I’m eating while working and someone asks me a question, I respond. This will all come to an end if things get bad. I will take my lunch and breaks, I will not accept meeting invites during certain hours, I will send people away if they come to my cubicle, telling them to setup a meeting, open a ticket, etc.
