It’s simple...... many will not actually work at home. They lack the discipline required to control their inherent laziness
That used to be a concern. But now employees are required to use VPN and companies can see how long they are logged on for, what they do and every keystroke is recorded. If they are slacking off, they will quickly get some supervisory attention. Welcome to the new world!
The work from home model is not that easy to do, it does require self discipline.
I know, I used to have a home office.
It is however, easy to track and trace the workers from the laggards.
Since working from home requires the use of electronic equipment, the monitoring of any given employee and their production is not too hard.
In my case, as a sales guy, with a quota, the measurement was easy, where are you in relationship to quota.
In today's world, I could not function.
I was always, way over quota, and way behind on reporting.
In one company, I was 250% of quota but six months behind on expense reporting and they threatened to fire me.
I axed if they were serious, and they were, and screamed bad stuff at me.
I told them to shove the job up their collective a____ {after I had already had another job with a competitor} and walked out the door.
At home or in an office, reporting was not high on my list.
