Yup. I remember when COVID lockdowns hit and everyone started working from home, my company suddenly had a zillion new initiatives and projects that appeared out of thin air and we were all busier than ever. Not more productive though.
My theory was that sending all the managers home opened their schedules considerably and so they coped with the emptiness by generating new work.

Somehow tracking productivity was not seen as neccessary when we were all sitting in a downtown office scrolling through Reddit with our headphones on, but it became a top priority when we started doing the same thing from home.
