[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So sad to see pathetic, incompetent managers rely so heavily on their employees’ *physical location* in order to motivate and lead them.  If my ability to manage/lead my people depended on my being able to touch them (i.e., on their being physically present with me), I’d resign in disgrace. [/quote]

Except not all people can WFH. My brother literally spend 3-5 days a week golfing on WFH.

Here was his schedule working for a back in NY in 2021 at his Florida house.

Get up 6am. Shower get dressed. Have breakfast wife as early riser. At 645 turn on work laptop and activate mouse juggler thing and check email and respond if have one.

7am hit golf course with his other WFH friends play 18 holes, then lunch with friends or back home to wife, check emails, then dip in pool, check emails then a nap after that BBQ with wife or go out to dinner. Between March 2020 and Sept 2022. He did 30-45 minutes a day work on a 400k salary. They were taking RTO and he still owns his NY home but instead asked for package. He got his boss to lay him off July 2022 after six month severance ran out took another WFH job as bored. This one more worn but can quit anytime. He turns 63 next month. His goal is once 63.5 hits if work gets tough just quit go on cobra till Medicare at 65.

Pre WFH he would have just retired. His entire complex is loaded with 55-65 year old men working remote who would have retired but why not milk WFH as long as possible then get a severance package then six months unemployment. I also knew a few “work at home moms”
They would have been SAHMs but why not juggle WFH remote as long as possible, get severance then unemployment. One wine I with with quiet quit in Spring 2020 with two young kids. Off the record end game is milk it as long as possible, get severance than unemployment then get a real job and by then both kids in elementary school.
