Out of curiosity, what reason was given for this policy change? Did you have any full time remote workers who was forced to relocate or leave?

  I have seen this at another company and I believe it was due to the fact that management wasn't very tech savvy. So when projects started to slip the only thing they could do was to call a lot of status meetings and make sure people are at the office working visibly. It's hard to judge if a remote worker works on a problem for two weeks or just does nothing.

    Exactly. Our company has installed the equivalent of TPS reports so that middle mgmt can feel good about themselves. They stack rank the teams, and ticket count and closure is a "vital" metric. If you do something important that isn't easily measurable (in an automatic fashion), you better be putting in a lot of face time. Oh, and we have 4 trouble/bug/task tracking systems in place...

  There was no reason given. Just the whims of mgmt. We didn't have any full-time remote workers that were affected. This only affected people at the home office who wanted a day or two to WFH.
