“worker had been present in the office being observed by management” And yet there are people who prefer working on site and “being observed by management”.

You might be surprised to know that there are workplaces where you don't get "observed by management" which is why people love going there on site. Or that there are jobs where you don't have the choice of WFH so you have to show up to the office whether you like it or not if you want to afford food and rent. Or lack of silence, space, amenities at home, or the multiple other reasons why some people to go to the office. Why be judgemental about it? Let people do what they want and you do what you want.

  You are right in the sense that mechanics, construction workers, medics, cant really work from home. But to say that in tech, which thrives due to remote customers, people must work on site is misguided. People cant afford the “luxuries” you mentioned because they need to be in the proximity of their office. Some are so traumatised by the experience that they cant fathom the notion that it is possible to own a place of your own, moreover, a place that can provide quietness and space. Such people need reminding that yes it is possible. If a company demand remote customers then employees can demand remote work. Those that despite having the space and the option of working form home yet chose onsite are welcome to do so. But i will remind folks that that is unnatural for human beings. Farming cattle is bad enough let alone people.

    >Those that despite having the space and the option of working form home yet chose onsite are welcome to do so. But i will remind folks that that is unnatural for human beings So, people not wanting to bring their work inside their homes where they eat, sleep, watch movies, play games, meet friends, have sex and play with their kids is unnatural? Are you gonna tell me next that same sex couples are also unnatural? I'll tell you what's unnatural: You trying to be the authority on what's unnatural. Stop trying to enforce your world views on everyone.
