[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some people abuse it. I assume. I don’t have evidence, but it feels like something that’s true. Therefore, no one should be allowed to do it.[/quote]

People goof off in offices, too. Guess we shouldn't be allowed to have offices.[/quote]

THIS.

Here's the deal. If you don't feel like the people you have can WFH and produce, then you need to fire them. Bringing them back to the office just because you don't know how to manage people is your problem. Bringing them back to the office is likely to only worsen a bad situation, because now they feel like they are being punished. Employees who feel like they are being punished are not employees you want because now you are risking sabotage, negativity, poor culture, etc.

Yes, if you are a nurse providing patient care, you need to be in a building. There are very clear lines IMO about who needs to be onsite and who doesn't. If the job can be done from home, then it should be allowed. If you can't trust your people to WFH, and they are WFH, you need to step up as a manager.  Offer hotelling options for folks who like to be onsite (assuming traditional office space here).

It's not that hard. And too bad for the commercial market. They were headed this direction anyway - COVID just accelerated it by 20 years.[/quote]
