No shit. When I don't have to worry about 10 people a day walking into my office just to bullshit for a hour or two I can get a lot more work done. When I was in-office daily I probably got at best around 2 hours of work done a day. The rest of the time I was in pointless meetings that should have been email and people randomly coming into my office to waste my time.

Being fully remote, I am easily getting a week's worth of work done in a day or two and my schedule is extremely flexible. If I want to take a break to go for a walk or to do the dishes there is no ass-in-chair manager counting how long I am away from my desk. They see the work is getting done so they dont care.

>Allowing flexible working and working from home creates a more productive, loyal workforce, the business secretary has said. In an interview with the Times, Jonathan Reynolds said employers "need to judge people on outcomes and not a culture of presenteeism". Labour is poised to unveil its Employment Rights Bill, which includes measures such as a right to "disconnect" outside working hours, a ban on zero-hours contracts and allowing workers to compress their contracted hours into fewer working days. Business groups have raised concerns about the plans, warning it could push up the cost of hiring staff and have the unintended consequence of ending overtime.

I've been fully remote for years, well before the Covid lock-downs allowed everyone else the opportunity. I manage to get much more work done than I can in the office, even with time spent fucking around here with you reprobates.

And yet, most companies in the US are forcing the return-to-office bullshit on their employees. Amazon just announced it this week.

Yeah, I posted about it and how all of their best employees will leave and the only people that will stick around are the desperate or the low-quality or maybe the ones that enjoy the forced socialization that the office is.

... the ones that enjoy the forced socialization that the office is.

The same ones that stop by your desk and chat, causing you to be less productive.
