I think another (largely unspoken) facet of WFH is that the monotony should lead to a normalization of working less: shorter hours, lowered expectations. People home with children, spouses, having to cook and clean more dishes... you can't expect workers to maintain the same level of productivity as they achieved pre-WFH life. The 40-hour work week was already an antiquated concept pre-WFH; in these difficult times the expectations must be tampered, and openly so.
