Yeah but - in fairness, a lot of people who work from home are taking advantage of their situation. I'm not one of them, I'm retired now but I know people who "work from home" by going shopping most of the day and then maybe doing 1 or 2 hours actual work.
Just sayin.'

Fair point. It happens, but sadly often this in the meme is the company culture we are returning to.
I had one shitty colleague who was taking naps during work hours and then working in the evening when all of us have headed home, so he makes decisions we never agreed on and surprises us in the morning.

Well it's hard to sympathize when you've only ever worked in a company culture. (AND by the way, always 8 to 5.....do people really work 9 to 5 and why have I never had such a job??). I never had the option to work from home, and in a way I'm glad because I know it would have been 92 percent playing on the computer and maybe 3 percent work and 5 percent going to the bathroom to pee.
So i see where employers are coming from in wanting to get back to the office environment again. It is almost impossible to track what workers are really doing from home, especially if they are actually taking naps and then doing asshole things in the evening that ruin your work life the next day!

It’s impossible to track workers at work too though… Everyone is whereever to do whatever. At least in Europe.

True, it's not easy no matter where you are.
