Remote working CAN be productive and to the advantage of everyone involved but you have to actually do some work. And people don't.

Incorrect. I was 100% remote before Covid and last March I was one of two people who earned a company award for a huge and successful project, and that award came with a $1000 cash bonus.

No. Not incorrect.

You are perhaps an exception.

And so bravo for you.

But the majority of remote workers are just remote paycheck collectors.

Perhaps if they paid people by the job it would work out better.

Don't care how long you worked, you get paid when the project is done and approved.

Of course then people would scream, and probably with justification, that they not being paid because the company was holding up approval so as not to pay them and companies would scream, and probably with justification, that a project is not "done" unless it is not likely to kill it's users.
