Unpopular opinion: People want to be lazy and hate things that force them to work harder.

They will vocally rationalize it.

I did it. "I'm more productive work from home." But then I do dishes, take an hour break, paid.

Foucault says that when people are observing them, power is placed over them.

If you are a worker you should hate this.

If you are a customer or owner, you should like this.

But I certainly won't be automatically believing people under surveillance who make claims it makes their quality worse.

Your anecdote talks about taking breaks and doing dishes, but fails to talk about measures of productivity.
