I'd say the fake-work product from telecommuniters is by necessity of a higher grade of quality than in-office fake work. A cleric can simply run around between the copier and the coffee machine carrying a folder of papers, and that would be sufficient to entertain the boss. The at-home worker has to create a spreadsheet or chart or something that seems important and relevant to the department goals. to make sure the boss feels he got a day's worth of work.

Forcing people to go into the office is the boss pretending to work.
If you can't tell people are working productively remotely, you have no business being a manager.
15% increase in productivity going from 2 days in the office to fully remote. That was the number given to us by the same management team that brought everyone back 3 days a week.
They made up the number one way when it suited them, then made it up again the other way once it didn't.
Oh don't worry, no made up numbers, they can easily keep track of that stuff at that job, they can even have quotas in place and a point system
I actually do more work at home. Zero distractions. Just work.
I don't even have to pretend I'm not working when I'm in the office. I'm constantly being interrupted by people to the point where I only get maybe 2 hours of good working conditions total throughout the day. I may spend a good amount of my time at home blatantly not working, but even then I'm still getting more work done in a day than trying and failing to work for 8 hours in the office.
Yo same. I work more efficiently at home so I can fuck around between tasks.
I mean... I'm writing this while at the office "working" so I that seems very valid to me. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
amateur: scrolling lemmy at work
pro: balatro at work
master: beat saber at work
Funny you should mention, we actually have a PC and VR gear at the office that is free to use on breaks and it has beat saber installed. Unfortunately I can’t play it because I get nauseated easily by VR but I have a few colleagues who play a lot during breaks. 😅
Grandmaster: sleeping at work
We used to have a nap room (which I actually requested and used often) until we downsized to a smaller office after Covid and we never got it back unfortunately. I mean what can I say, sometimes you just need to take a nice 10-15min power nap to get by. These days I use empty two person meeting rooms for this if the sleepies suddenly start hitting real hard. 😂
Super grand Master: beat saber, but not the video game
I ruined my work day by dying early in Noita and spend the rest of the day too salty to do anything but watch youtube. I get out in a few minutes...
I don't want to work
I know right? Who do these people think they are, shareholders?
The last thing I want is to take my work home.
The last thing I want is to take myself to the office, to each their own
Depends on the circumstances. After one year of wfh in a 18m2 apartment, I happily go to the office 4-5 days a week, even though I am not required to.
Again, to each their own
Especially if you work for Rothschild's Sewage and Septic Sucking Services.
