I found that most people have a very narrow and different view of "what needs to be done", and that's why there's so much tension on WFH. Most engineers today seem to like just being assigned tasks, and don't consider the huge effort required to create, prioritize and properly articulate those tasks (some of which required engineering input). A good presenter probably know he need to rethink something if he has an audience with a "I don't get it" face. On the other hand, managers can't empathize with how some people concentrate better in their home than in a noisy open office. When my company was forced by covid to move to WFH, individual productivity increased while overall company productivity decreased. Both sides were right, just in different ways.
