I know of a company that had sent most employees to work remote during COVID. While this worked well for most departments, there were a couple of departments where a large percentage of people were not working (not online during required meetings, etc). In a sane world: The CEO makes it clear to those department heads that their future depends on their teams working, and the department heads come down on the managers. People get written up quickly for not being online working, and maybe the worst few are fired. Both the workers and the managers (who should have been watching this all along) get their heads straight. In the real world: The CEO ordered 100% of employees back to office (still during COVID), to avoid hurting anyone's feelings by calling them out for not doing their jobs.
