The transit agency is cutting back on the number of remote work days available to its office employees beginning in November.
Starting then, only one remote work day will be allowed per week, CEO and general manager Leslie Richards informed staff on Friday.“We love the increase in activity we’re seeing throughout our system,” Richards said in a Friday interview. “With the city employees coming back, with Comcast coming back, we want to support that trend and support Philadelphia responding in a positive way. So it was time for us to revise our teleworking policy.
But so-called SAM employees — supervisory, administrative, and management — have been able to work remotely at least two days a week.. Some workers who spoke with The Inquirer said they were blindsided by the decision and expressed frustration at the reduced flexibility. In some cases, employees had taken positions with SEPTA because of the hybrid work flexibility.
