Spot on. This smells like a desperate move by management that knows it's being propped up by cheap oil and a peaking US economy.

But UA isn't "allowing" its employees to work at home, it's forcing them to.

I personally don't like working at home. I like personal interaction with my co-workers and feeling like I'm a part of something.

And let's be clear, the "work at home" option is being forced on the employees, as is the pay cut. This is anything but a pro-employee move.
