I don’t see a problem. WFH is about getting your work done, not appearances.
There are 2 types of “remote” workers. Those who spend much of the day doing personal stuff and not work. And then there are those who actually put in a full day of work. And that group is actually more productive than being in an office setting which is always filled with distractions. Instead of an across the board ending of remote work it should be based on individuals. If you send an important email, text, whatever and do not get a reply for hours you know that at least today that person is not being attentive to work. Let those who have proven that they are productive at home continue to do it.

This might be industry specific, but for me it’s the exact opposite. If I respond to emails or slack messages immediately, it’s probably because I don’t have anything important that I’m working on, or that I’m just browsing Lemmy or something. If it takes me an hour to respond, it’s because I was head-down on something and didn’t want the interruption by changing focus to something different.
i like the happy vacuum. <3
They’re real!
