It's about time you learned to read. She said she's productive. [/quote]

She thinks she is productive.  Her boss thinks otherwise.  And as others have pointed out, if workers were actually as productive as they think they are, [b]managers wouldn't want to mess with success.  [/b]

I'm sorry that the following is going to be brusque.  But OP, maybe it will be helpful to understand what your manager is thinking about you.

I get that you can do your errands and childcare in the day and (some of) your real job at night.  Guess what that means for everyone else you work with?  They're pulling the slack in the daytime hours, and getting hit with a barrage of nighttime messages from you when we start the next day.

I'm a manager who returned to the office in August 2020.  It's been twice as much work for me to manage projects being implemented by WFH employees. How many times have I had to wait for someone to get back from walking the darn dog, so they can look at the spreadsheet I'm calling about while on deadline?  And, the old office culture of trust and open communications (based on relationships built on lots of face-to-face time) is really strained.

Is this really what we've come to?  It's so pathetic.  After 3 years of being patient and sensitive to the feelings of super-fragile, anxiety- ridden Gen Z and Millenials, I just want to get the job done.

OP, get to the office or please do everyone a favor and quit.  It'll be cheaper that way.

And if you have any ambition at all, please know that, in conversations at my company, senior managers have gotten into a pattern of disqualifying all the WFH staff from promotions.  You just don't know enough to be of any use.  But no worries.  Gen X will run the show for another 15-20 years while you grow up.

Really?  You think RTO is truly driven by productivity and nothing else?  [/quote]
