[quote=Anonymous]Why on earth do you people have such a hard time with this??? Being in the office makes no damn difference—people that don’t work at home, don’t work any better in the office, and I don’t have time to hold their hands.

^^Disagree 100% with the above statement. I have hybrid worked for 20+ years, was in a federal agency’s inaugural telework program, and have found some people just aren’t good at WFH in part due to the distractions mentioned by OP. My current company has a remote work policy that in many respects mirrors the policy I signed with a federal agency 20+ years ago . . . “Remote work will not be used in lieu of childcare [in other words, if you have small kids you need to have child care that is not you], will be available during [stated] core hours, will be available for in-person meetings on short notice, etc.” I manage a few employees now that I need to check in on frequently, i.e., a weekly team meeting, at least one one-on-one meeting to run through tasks and more frequent check-ins.[/quote]
