[quote=Anonymous]I work in Woodlawn in frontline management. My component (operations), is losing telework.  I don’t think that the legal staff is losing theirs but I am not certain.  The field offices that deal with the public AND the backend payment centers (where I work) are directly affected.

Morale was already low but this is the nail in the coffin.

We were told by the Associate Commissioner that there were NO metrics that could track if telework was a success.  They did say that waiting time increased for the public facing staffs.

So others are being punished basically because the newly appointed Commissioner doesn’t like telework at all. He doesn’t understand the internal problem with operations is chronic understaffing. We are rapidly losing people due to retirement and we don’t replace them due to funding.  Our volume of work keeps increasing because the number of disabled and retired applicants keeps growing.

Without telework we’re not going to attract the best applicants and people will leave for other jobs.

The union also dropped the ball by allowing the upper management to decide how to run the telework program. [/quote]
