For all the joys of WFH, there really are employees that take advantage. WFH should still be work. The employer is still paying those hours. So consider that not everyone is like you and some people take advantage
If only management had the capability to assess performance of WFH employees through metrics other than time in the seat. Impossible without managers doing more work though, so I guess the only solution is to make everyobe come to the office every day.
I've worked fully in office jobs where I would swear 80% of the staff spent most of their day trying to find ways look busy while fucking around. Turns out if you treat adults like children, they will act like children.
Lol so true
So... when there is potential for someone to take advantage of something, it should be denied to everyone lest they happen to be the type that might take advantage? That more or less negates all social safety nets, charity, and acts of kindness.
Interesting that there really are employees that flourish and work more effectively when they do so from home.
How much do those who take advantage cost the employer vs those that benefit the employer? What the net gain or loss? Is it impossible to unobtrusively measure this? Maybe those who take advantage can be put on an improvement plan, brought into the office, or terminated without banning the practice.
you just discovered the conservative excuse
