Shame on management

My organization has hundreds of people in the program spread throughout the entire country. Based on a recent merge with another group, we recently got even more My Work employees.

My manager is a B3 who told us that within our organization there are no plans to retire the program. To remain in the program, the requirements are a strong Meets / Meets (or above) with production of solid, sustainable results, completion of all online courses within 1 week of assignment and continued accountability.

Being accountable means being present and online during normal working hours. There is flexibility but in no way is anyone going to get away with taking advantage of the program. There is also a requirement that we attend All Hands calls in person twice monthly. For me, this means driving over 130 miles one way. There have even been new people hired into the program within the last six months, only a few though.

In the case of my organization, letting all those My Work people go just because of their status would put a serious strain on things. I get the impression that some areas like GTO simply abolished it, while other areas used supposed abolishment as a way to get rid of people that they didn't have the guts to manage out.

The poster who wrote about Wilmington, Delaware site is right. Space is a huge concern. There isn't enough any longer. Space is needed for the operating areas who cannot work from home so all the staff positions are getting pushed back to WFH.

Unfortunately, there is no recognition that is actually My Work and these people will not be officially brought back into the program. The company has done a horrible job with the inconsistency. When I joined the program 12 years ago, job postings had a "Telecommute %" 20% for 1 day, 40% for 2 days, etc. Now it is like the program never existed and what is left is some secret society.

Shame on management for letting the whole thing get so screwed up.

Lots of areas have their All Hands by Telepresence, so there is requirement to drive for people to drive in. Our area requires people to come in for All Hands and take those calls in a large conference room. Everyone in the telecommute program had the accountability expectation from the very beginning. I don't think the previous person said they were being removed from the telecommute program. It said their area expected continued accountability. N5hn -- you sound bitter, get a life.. My area still has plenty of people in the telecommute program and we have all been told similar things to what the previous person wrote. There is a big misconception that people who telecommute are somehow not working. It just isn't true. I agree with the previous person, shame the company for mismanaging the whole thing. We now have two groups of people, those who still get the perk and those who are miserable that they no longer do or cannot participate.

Really? ? After 12 yrs you are asked to be accountable, no taking advantage, attend "All hands CALLS. .." BTW those are calls you don't drive anywhere. It's a darn shame they taking all that away and expect you to work like the rest of us.
