This is often a problem even when people are spending the day in the office. It is not obvious that working from home makes this problem worse.
Sometimes you get an information on Monday, a contradictory one on Tuesday, and a completely different "final" version on Wednesday. Suppose you missed the version from Tuesday because you were not in the office. How much harm actually happened?
Generally, when a resource is abundant, it becomes cheaper to abuse it. In the age of corporate-agile, managers often don't even bother to think their decisions to the end, because hey, we can still change the plan tomorrow. Nobody bothers to write meeting minutes, because there is another meeting soon anyway. Not sure if it's just my bubble, but even having a flipchart with notes is becoming a rarity.
I would enjoy the return of the culture where we thought whether we are producing the right thing before I already had half of the code written.
