> But if you were in a management position when WFH started, you would've seen velocity go through the floor and stay there.

I spoke with my manager about this. This wasn't true for our team, and it wasn't true for any other team in our (fairly sizable) division. I didn't give a shit about any other group, so I didn't ask.

If your employees are spending their days fucking around instead of working when they're working from their home office, I'm here to tell you that when they were in the corporate-leased office, they were browsing Reddit on their phone or off on yet another coffee break to "get the pulse of the office". Slackers and shirkers are gonna slack and shirk, no matter where they are.

The thing to do is to fire folks who aren't doing enough to justify their pay. That's something that hasn't ever changed.
