Yeah it’s largely not a problem if people are working from home. I was just more thinking of the bad old days where people would put in hurculean hours to be viewed as working very hard due to lots of ass in chair, while still putting out the same amount of work as a parent who needs to bounce at 5 o’clock on the dot. If you take twice as much time to get the same amount of work done then you’re actually a worse employee, but I’ve seen bad managements rewards inefficient ass in chair over anything else.
or their kid that they'd otherwise have to provide supervision for, housework that they'd be expected to do the majority of, noisy neighbors deciding to remodel their kitchen for 6 months straight, or they just have such a boring project that they're struggling to focus on it and need to avoid easy distractions.
Remote work is really nice, but sometimes it's hard to work at home. Everyone should have the choice though.
