> I think what happens is companies will get better at understanding who is and who isn't spending time working (I am careful not to use word "productive"). It's not clear to me that there's much of an incentive for this, and I think it requires more effort on the part of decision-makers than sending an email telling everyone to come back to the office. Direct oversight has always been a very minor part of performance metrics, compared to word-of-mouth or deliverables. WFH still has those two factors, all it's missing is the direct oversight. I can only see manager support for this at places where managers are regularly checking over your shoulder, which is already crazy.
