This is not at all the case of everyone who worked from home during Covid. My husband and I were busier than ever, and yes, more productive. There’s a lot of time wasted in many offices that isn’t wasted when you work at home; and a lot of unnecessary interruptions that don’t happen at home.
Everyone knows some people who ‘gamed the system’; but in my experience, the people who do, figure out a way to do it in the office, too. I teleworked for extended times during Covid, and also years ago. Depending on the individual and the type of work, it can be very productive.
Absolutely. The first people to fall by the wayside since the Scamdemic lockdowns were the incompetent employees and especially managers, who filled their calendar to get work done by community effort, as a way of hiding their incompetence. Once they didn't have rooms of "teams" to "synergize", it became so obvious they were the weak link.
We had a period of about 8 months were problem after problem surfaced that had been masked by incompetent directors and managers for years. The capable staff benefited immensely after being unburdened from the dead wood bosses and productivity skyrocketed.
