It is flawed though. In a "perfect" world, people would have had time to set themself up to work remote successfully by getting the tools and support they needed.
Instead, people were working from a bed/couch/wherever they could because they dont have the room in their current living situation to handle a remote office. Couple that with potential roommates/live in spouses/children who are all doing the same thing and yea its not gonna be as easy as someone who started remote prior to the lockdowns and had time to set up an office.
My partner is the perfect representation of this. I was remote prior to the lockdowns in our area. I have a nice standing desk, external monitors, headphones, and already had processes in place to deal with it all. She, and her company, did not so for a few months there was a lot of struggle as she tried to find a place to work in her cramped one bedroom apartment for a company that wasn't prepared to go remote.
