I call bull on this. I work HARDER at home. When there's no clean delineation between where you work and where you live it's a lot easier to work late or on the weekend because your commute is all of 10 seconds. This is absolutely unhealthy behavior, but my WFH problems have never been because I'm slacking off since I'm at home. People with integrity will work. People without integrity will find ways of avoiding work. Location doesn't matter. Hire or work with the former; avoid the latter.

I'll see your anecdote and raise you a few productive companies that have RTO policies: - Apple: https://www.fastcompany.com/90781330/apple-return-to-office-rto-tech-plans https://www.fastcompany.com/90781330/apple-return-to-office-... - Amazon: https://www.cnbc.com/2023/02/17/amazon-employees-asked-to-be-in-office-three-days-a-week-andy-jassy.html https://www.cnbc.com/2023/02/17/amazon-employees-asked-to-be... - Microsoft: https://www.nytimes.com/2022/02/14/technology/microsoft-rto.html https://www.nytimes.com/2022/02/14/technology/microsoft-rto.... Why should your anecdote be stronger than this?

  Because the large companies have other incentives in promoting office work as the better solution.

Conversely, I work very little at home. Probably like 4-6 hours/day max, sometimes more like 2-4. When I used to go to the office it was a solid 8+ (sometimes 10+). At home I can go play video games whenever I want, my kids are around to play with after school gets out, etc.
