Can't wait for all the work from homers to come in this thread at 10 AM on a Tuesday and argue with strangers on the internet for 3 or 4 hours avout how much more productive they are working from home.

This. Had a Project Manger I fired a few weeks for throwing a fit that if he’s not onsite, he needs to be in the office. This dude let the project fall to shite and it took me taking over the project until I find a suitable replacement. The metrics he was submitting every week were fudged. I own my company and I currently have 2 dozen projects going and I don’t like micromanaging my people. It’s a good bit of projects to keep up with. This guy had been a good PM for me 2+ years but he wasn’t handling his business recently.

Look, I’m as hardcore an outdoorsman as anyone but my profession comes first. Had he been more concerned about this project as he was fishing and getting ready for turkey hunting the past month, he’d still have a pretty great job going into Q2 of 2024.

I hope he lands on his feet but some of this WFH is out of hand. If you’re in IT or something similar, no issue. To be fair, there are some folks who take their job serious and handle there business but in the last 10 months I’m seeing more problems.
