> Having these people in the office WOULD result in more work being done.

I disagree as I think those people did no work while in the office and kept doing no work outside the office.

I worked in a building where one person had a personal laptop open, daytrading all day. Instead of working. Of course they should have worked, but they didn’t.

People will shirk work in the office and outside.

I think it’s silly to assume someone who would log into Teams and then play PlayStation wouldn’t just close their office door and play games on their iPad for hours.
