The funny part about this is that there are so many departments struggling to keep their heads above water as it is. I left BNYM last year, but when the requirement was two days a week my org was very lenient about it (ie take early meetings from home, come in around 10:00, and duck out around 3:00-3:30 to finish from home and beat traffic).

Really felt like desperate attempts by our management team to retain the staff they had since attrition was through the roof.
