Any non management such as sales or service representatives being told to relocate to a new office in another city or surpluses?

It's not Bloomfield, it's Brookfield, Wisconsin. It is indeed just outside Milwaukee County.
440 S executive Drive is the location. It's a relatively rundown office building, with questionable backup generators, but ample parking, and quick access to a major highway.
Honestly, it's not so bad.
Sales falls under management. I’m an L2. Sales is just being asked to go into the nearest office, for now. A lot of us are near our customers in the local market. Many are not. We are unsure how this will play out yet. Outside of the general announcement of “How and Where We Work” we have heard nothing. All I can really say from my own experience is that the quality and quantity of work is really starting to decline. From my catbird seat perspective, orders are taking longer to get through, builds are taking longer, and don’t get me started about scheduling TTU for anything. Since most service management lacks proactive urgency around the ordering process now too. This is making my job more difficult as I spend more time having to investigate orders myself, taking more time away from me selling. Sales quotas are too high considering the current economic climate in telecom. We are all just expecting to be scapegoats in the near future when sales is reorganized. I am hearing dire predictions from wireless and wire line. No difference. We have moved from selling solutions to cheap commodities. I remember SOCS from years ago, and it is like we threw it all out the window.
People in Saginaw Michigan were told they could love to Bloomfield to keep their jobs. That is near Milwaukee.
No
They won’t be asked. Look at the surpluses trend in the USA.
