> I don’t see how this makes any employee productive. I'll contribute a counter argument, if only because I don't see it mentioned much. I'm the counter argument. Since I'm at home now, with kids, if I'm not directly on the phone with a coworker or boss, I'm likely not working. Recently our boss mandated that webcams must be on hereon-forward... before today, I would sometimes just have airpods on for the meeting but otherwise be doing stuff (cooking, clean dishes, other chores). Honestly this part I don't really enjoy -- because rarely there is stuff said in the meetings for which I need 100% of my brain head-on. But that's just me with all of my mental disorders and problems, who needs a helicopter boss to be productive. You may be different.
