How many request do you get from employees everytime it rains or gets cold asking if they can work from home using some lazy, bs excuse? Covid was the worst thing to ever happen to the American worker.
Remote working isn't the problem.
Lazy employees who take advantage of remote work situations to screw off and incompetent employers who don't have the backbone to discipline lazy employees and instead punishing that whole company workforce are the problem.
There are a multitude of resources and programs available to monitor and track remote production if one chooses to utilize them.
Trust me, your more responsible and dedicated employees would greatly respect and appreciate your acknowledging their hard work and dedication rather than your refuel to deal with problem employees and lumping everyone into the same category.

No idea why this is getting downvotes.
I’ve been completely remote for six years, so way before COVID. The OP comes off as a bitter, WFH-hating jackass who can’t lead adults without babysitting them, but he has a point. He doesn’t take it seriously because a lot of people doing it don’t take it seriously. COVID forcing people who had no business working remote into it kinda did make that worse.

In 20 years most people will be working remotely. Progressive companies looking for a competitive advantage will be managed by folks in their 20s today who do not need to keep tabs on their employees every second. They will measure job performance on production, not the number of hours spent eating birthday cake a week.
The one thing that ALL remote work advocates need to keep in mind though is this...if your job can be done from Georgia and your "office" or employer is in California there are very few circumstances where your job could not be done from India, for example. Some jobs requiring citizenship for security purposes would be an exception but outside of that if you can do your job more than a typical commute from the office there is no difference in it being done half way around the globe.
