Maybe you wanted to say "certain people"? Working from home is definitely more difficult for some people's work style than others, plus a ton of other factors like how well one's home is suited to working in, how much skill a person has working in that environment, etc.
Time theft is a bummer, especially on the team-level where you just want to get things done. I wonder what causes it? Off the top of my head I can think of:
- People are naturally lazy (I really disagree with this, but it feels like the default "robber baron" answer)
- People are having trouble adjusting to different and various work environments (probably a good amount of this)
- The nature of how we work in America is fundamentally unnatural for many people, and the lack of supervision allows people to assume a better work/life balance
#3 is maybe just my experience in the workplace, but it feels pretty true — I wonder how widespread that experience is.
In any case, I'm glad the pandemic forced many people to reevaluate what "going to work" looks like, and hopefully we settle on something closer to how we'd each like to work.
