Neither works, in my opinion. If the idea is to say that we agree or accept to stop the work then I'd use one of these verbs. We have agreed/accepted to stop the work.

  • We have agreed/accepted to stop the work.
  • If, on the other hand, the work has already been stopped and and you've (reluctantly) come to terms with that, then possibly you can say We are all reconciled to the stopping of the work here.
  • (reconciled to the fact that the work has been stopped here)

Thanks, Ivanhr.

Just to make sure that I understand you correctly...

"reconciled to do something" or "reconciled to doing something" are not natural phrases if the intended meaning is "agreed to do something"?

Yes, that's correct. They can, however, be used to mean "accept something or come to terms with something".

"reconciled to" usually takes a noun, but when it takes a verb, it takes the -ing form.
