Don't do it. I did it last year then they laid me off, after being the top amongst my peer group previously.
You might be okay if you're a consultant or potentially a Manager.
I had the same experience as a Sr Manager at Accenture. I was “guaranteed” to work locally but received no additional support from HR in finding a role - my HR partner didn’t even know what the program was, I had to send her the info page about it! As a result my chargeability plummeted and then I was let go for performance (during some broader layoffs) with my chargeability metric being the only rationale despite me leading BD efforts that we won with a new client while unstaffed and salvaging a client relationship that was in the gutter once I finally got staffed.
Wait what? Was it tied directly to the work local program ?
In my (same) experience it was indirectly. The work local program won’t impact your performance review directly in the sense that the can’t use inability to travel as a negative or comparison point during reviews, but if it takes you longer to find a role than the impact to your chargeability will be used against you in the performance review.
How would this impact their decision to lay someone off? Seems independent of your performance
Yes I did! According to the program it won’t impact your performance review. Not sure how much it matters right now though since the vast majority of roles are already remote.
