Hold on - Managers frown on staff working from home, yet they ARE always working from home or an alternative site near their home. I recall one manager having a meeting while driving to pick up their kid from the Mall while working from home.
During the pandemic, the plan was work from home using your equiptment and space. Staff was not required to sign a contract/agreement regarding equiptment, space needed to be fully operationional nor did it discuss the hours they needed to be available during the day. If the 25,000 want to work from home they will need to get division/area manager approval and sign an agreement/contract.
