One of the points that I think is underlying your post is that this is not normal remote working conditions. People are stuck at home, with kids, spouses, etc., and all other social outlets shut off. Or they are completely alone and isolated. On the flip side an all-remote team keeps the in-office people from having the advantage of hallways conversations and other low-friction means of communication that end up excluding remote employees. It’s often difficult to gauge employee productivity. I do think that as managers we kid ourselves that we can actually improve individual productivity in any significant, sustainable way, other than helping people remove roadblocks like, you know, the kids screaming in the background while you are trying to code.
