I find this comment interesting as a single example, especially with the data that's available on the topic. So many studies showing that remote and flexible working arrangements result in objectively higher productivity. At the same time, recent surveys show that people don't trust their colleagues to work hard while remote.
I'm sure we've all encountered someone we perceive as a lazy colleague. I'm also sure most of us will agree that data trumps anecdotes. If we accept that the the studies and surveys are all correct, this means that we're all being pretty tough on our colleagues despite their (overall) high performance.
