    A lot of the complaints about people “being lazy” while working from home comes from managers that don’t know how to deal with WFH.

    Management and team leads don’t need to unduly spy on people or micromanage them. They need to figure out a reasonable measure of productivity and track it, i.e. “What did an employee get done today/this week/etc?” The employees would probably be happy to help figure it out if it means they don’t have to come back in to the office.

    From there, basic management skills apply. If it looks like someone is slacking off verify that’s actually the case, then go from there.

      Agreed. And that’s why a lot of smaller companies will stick with remote work. But you can also get your productivity back by just calling everyone back into the office, and these big companies already have all the resources they need to do it. So they are.
