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.)

Conformation bias is very difficult to overcome. I just hope that professionalism and the need to produce is more important than playing gotcha. That is why I am considering not filing the claim. If I do then it gives them all the more reason to pick nits. If I can jump back in and produce quality work then I will be seen as a team player and not a vindictive sob. So far I have gotten everything I wanted with the exception of all the sick leave and vacation hours I burned through. If they put that back on the books then I will forgive all the times I had to pull my car off the road because I was falling asleep or had to get out and yell due to the pain. I "won", however they also won as they have my abilities and unique set of skills back. And that is the attitude I want to convey.
