> I work with a few remote folks today. They are always out of to loop, late to deliver and somehow always have a reason to not be at meetings.

You work with bad folks, period. I have seen none of that.

If those employees are objectively poor performers - why aren't they let go? Claims don't add up.

> The worst of them before the pandemic were the ones that showed up at 11:30 ate free lunch and was out by 1:30.

So this is what they were doing with in office work and you think remote work is the issue?

So there's some magic where if they RTO they will suddenly come clean?

Slackers will still slack off. Maybe it's just you can't tell when you're in the office - that's all.

Nobody is "coming clean" the cry and fight for remote work is just an attempt to stay hidden and out of site so they can continue to collect paychecks while doing the most minimal amount of work.
