were next in line and/or with little or no management and leadership experience/education. This, then, brings about a lack of confidence in their positions ergo micromanagment ergo no telecommuting. I am pretty sure I have hit the nail on the head on this one.
You will never get an increase in this program unless it is made mandatory and then [you] have to ID what career fields must be afforded telecommuting [options].
So until that is done -- it's just nice fluff on paper with no real value.
