I'm a DevOps engineer for a Fortune 500 retailer. Our company was very anti work-from-home. A couple of days before everything hit the fan, they sent out an email forbidding travels and large meetings, but very pointedly stated that the you-must-haul-your-ass-into-the-office policy was unchanged. A couple of days later, they sent out another email stating that if you really had to, you could WFH, but they sent along a contract that you and your manager had to sign Late last week they finally closed the office, but senior management keeps sending out "guidelines" for working at home - it's as if they're grudgingly accepting it for now, but don't want people to get any crazy ideas that this will be a "thing", so don't get used to it.

Funny thing is, they never had any objections to me working at home when they would wake my ass up at 1:30AM to fix a production problem.
