Forbidden Questions:
Questions we would love to ask, but for fear of loosing our jobs, we dare not.
Question #1:
What is RTO?
Return to Office
What's the big deal?
Consider: An employee is told in writing that his position can be remote permenently. He is two years remote. He has relied on ARUP's representations regarding remote work. Andy wants to see people outside his office. Employee is told that ARUP has changed it's mind about remote work. Employee must RTO by (dates come and go). To do that Employee will have to sell his house, uproot his family, find a new home in SLC and now spend 90 minutes commute time per day. That's a big deal.
How can ARUP demand RTO after agreeing to let employee work from home?
The courts may have to decide that.
Are there any lawsuits over this issue?
Why has ARUP taken this position?
They want to eliminate some positions..
Is everyone effected?
Not the ones that have been granted exemptions. Look around, you'll find them.
What else should I look for?
Look for a group moving to a new home within the organization which is exempt. Then look for remote workers in that group. Those are the exceptions, moved to an exempt group to sheltler them from RTO.
