--at least it looks like you've won, at least for now. Congrats.

Your story is very instructive, as well. Glad you had good legal representation. Unfortunately, it today's bad economic universe, employers hold most of the cards, and few people are willing to fight for their rights, especially as employers can often hide behind vague, arbitrary reasoning as to their decisions. (I suspect the Vice-President you mentioned may have gotten pressure from higher ups, and the company had little reason for the initial decree beyond fearing loss of micrometric control over you every second of the work day if you worked at home. Of course, companies will often invoke any excuse to try and lose people they fear make too much, etc. It really is sad that employers seem to believe we deserve no better than autocratic types of control that we, and they, would resent and not allow from a governmental entity.)
