[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Seemed odd to me that they cut the program entirely rather than curtail it for individuals with productivity issues.  Alternatively, perhaps the jobs in that division are public facing and don't lend themselves well to teleworking but one wonders why that was not readily ascertainable prior to launching the pilot program.[/quote]

From a fed manager's perspective and from what I see attending management meetings throughout my department, it's very hard to curtail things for some employees (those with productivity issues) but not others. They file grievances, fake EEOs and even sometimes get lawyers. Even when you have ironclad evidence, it's still very difficult and you basically can't ever fire someone. It would be great to have a more dynamic hiring and firing system, but it doesn't exist. [/quote]

Well, look at the positive side though... It allows you to be on dcum middle of work day so... [/quote]

Well I'm actually teleworking, so...  Just kidding, I'm in a uber between meetings. But thanks for your concern. [/quote]
