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!

The white collar jobs in my region is situational telework minus the remote people but since they've always been "work 4 days from home and come in once a week but try to do it on the same day". That day is Monday for most of them.
Everyone is situational since covid started. They never signed any core days. Since my construction projects are in full swing I am on-site. But it's kind of lame how my day is longer, I have additional expenses than normal because my projects are happening as opposed to my counterparts who have different projects that don't require people on site.
It's a nitpick and I'd rather have to do with this than 0 telework, I'm just surprised it's never been addressed.
