I have a 6 year old rescued Poodle and she has always been housebroken. She goes back and forth between my house and my mother's. Six months ago I bought a house two doors down from my mom, both of our yards are fenced and I put a doggie door in.
This last month she has started pooping in the house while I am at work. When I am home or weekends she uses the doggie door. Obviously she is punishing me for going to work! How do I fix this issue?

Dogs don't punish their owners. It is just not in their character. You probably need to look at the usual problems to find an answer. Is she afraid of something in the backyard? Does she have any physical problems? Is she uncomfortable with the new doggy door? Have the changes caused her to develop anxiety?
There are more questions that need to be answered here. Are you leaving her home alone while you are at work, or is she with your mom? How long did it take you to fully complete the move? How often do you walk her and where do you go? Does she play with or see other pets or dogs? Is she spayed?
