I guarantee 90% of the people who claim to be better at home are not. 3+ years of observation. I've let people go who were great employees and who shot straight down when they didn't have to do anything but travel 20 feet to their counter or office. Human nature demands accountability. Employee happiness has tanked too. Imagine that.

Of course people think they are better than they are. As a manager I sometimes laugh at self-evaluations as the employee thinks they do no wrong. On the other hand, some employees are way too hard of themselves.

Some people can’t handle it, no one would deny that.

Of course. Do you think remote employees can’t be held accountable? They most certainly can

Has more to do with lack of wage growth and reduced benefits.

Sounds like you’re a terrible manager. That axe is probably heading your way soon.
