Maybe they feel they have to call in the application developers because the quality of their work is so bad!
For example, they have absolutely terrible printer drivers and ridiculously bloated installation packages for the all-in-one Officejet series of printers. The installation of the driver is abandoned if there is one single glitch in the application software installation.
Candidly, I don't think these 'work from home' issues have anything to do with quality control. I suspect that is just a reflection of narrow minded 'decidor' with an open ear to office gossip and jealousy.
I did the best work of my career working from home. Several times my manager came to me and told me how great my work had become. He also told me about people complaining and making false statements concerning my lack of office presence. Thank goodness, he stood his ground and did not act on this petty jealousy and false innuendo.
Anyhow, maybe HP is just sweeping everyone up for closer scrutiny before the next big round of layoffs. From a software bloat perspective, maybe cutting back on developers and middle managers won't be such a bad thing.
Clearly, there are some types of people who can work from home and some people who can not. Most people know and can tell you which category they fall into.
