I have 55 stateside employees and upwards of 100 overseas vendor employees that report up the line to me. Zero in office workers and it's been that way for years before Covid. If you can't manage these people successfully in a WFH environment you can't manage them in house either. It's not about the location its about the leadership you provide and the work culture you create. My salaried remote managers give untold time before and after hours when needed due to not having to commute. I'm also quick to approve the time off they want to keep the balance. Stop using WFH as an excuse for poor management of poor employees that you feel the need to manipulate in order to get productivity from them.

Well said. OP should give up the boss position and take a demotion. That is what would be best for the company since OP admits that they don't know how to properly manage their employees.
