Oh, there are definitely those that would take advantage of WFH arrangements, but on the whole the productivity increase from everyone else seems to more than offset them. I’d also argue that a lot of the issue should be resolvable through appropriate employee management without being invasive or too overbearing (e.g. many companies already have daily standups or weekly progress meetings as well as employee development processes which should make it obvious whether an employee has become less effective after starting WFH).
It’s not “taking advantage of”, it “squandering the opportunity of”.
Those that abuse WFH are the ones who miss out.
Those who treat WFH as an office away from the office are the ones who can take advantage of the increased productivity to get more done.
