This is far too simplistic and cynical a view. You are not being charitable to people who have legitimate criticisms of WFH and I don’t think you can flat out claim WFH is more efficient across the board Some legit criticisms I have of WFH (I’m not “anti” WFH, mind): If you rely on colleagues/get blocked by them, they can go AWOL for extended periods and block you harder. Some people are straight up much less productive even if they don’t have kids in their house, probably because they need the structure or get distracted easily at home. Meetings are more efficient ways to relay medium-large amounts of information than async communication like email/messaging. And video meetings are still quite awkward and may never be able to be as good as in person. It’s much harder for managers to do their job (understand the state of the team and communicate that upwards, track progress, manage wellbeing, help where it’s needed) in environments that are more closed off. I’m sure many people are more productive when WFH but it’s certainly not everyone. It’s not at all “too efficient”. I have directly seen how it harms individual and team productivity and communication
