> That doesn't happen remote either.

I don't know where you got this idea, but this happens all the time. The two most common topics in the remote channel of the big management peer group I'm in are:

1. People cheating on remote interviews (including substituting another person to take the interview)

2. People getting multiple jobs and being too obviously distracted to get work done, or the increasingly common getting a new job and not resigning from the last job because they know they can collect potentially $100K+ in paychecks and/or severance by waiting to get let go instead.

If you don't believe these things happen in remote jobs then I understand your resistance throughout this thread to any suggestion that remote and in-office are different.
