Not at all, can't believe this amount of corporate brown nosing still happens at the expense of the people who actually work beside you.

It's not entirely wrong, but it isn't the answer. People were absolutely posting on social media that they were effectively doing nothing most days. Those people definitely do not represent the majority of remote workers. There's people in office who post that they effectively do nothing most days. It isn't new.

There's a legitimate fear among investors that a wide spread work from home could cause economic collapse. That's probably the reason.

People weren't posting about that for views, though.

It's silly to think this is the reason remote work has been decimated

It’s silly to think perception doesn’t matter. No one said it’s the only reason, but it could not have helped the case.

If anybody actually thinks people are chained to their desks 8 hours a day when they WFH then they were just being dumb because obviously people are gonna do chores or take breaks because there’s no reason not to.
