Incorrect, if you are on the clock running groceries and to the gym.
Salaried employees, who much are most of the WFH people, have been expected to be “on the clock” at most hours of the day for decades. If someone wants to run to the grocery store and take their work phone with them, there should be zero backlash for that.

He's trolling you. There is no correct answer than absolutely agreeing with him. He doesn't process there are different situations for everyone because that eliminates the troll.

Pelosi is another WFH fraudster. Elon is about to drop the hammer. I didn't have Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos teaming up to get rid of WFH on my bingo card

But she gets her work done.
Nevermind that the amount of work she's expected to do is calibrated to the fact that she actually doesn't work there.

You are not WFH. You are taking care of your kid

Just my opinion, leadership should have quantifiable indicators of performance that doesn't lead to the question whether the employee is walking their dog or rocking their baby instead of working.
If a company can't derive success metrics and their solution is just install the wage cage then they'll surely fail in some other way down the line.

It seems you're referencing the lack of supervision being an issue creating externalities related to this "not knowing".
I'm sure their employers know if their work was completed, though, which is all that matters.

Your opinion represents a much better understanding of value, efficiency, and productivity than those defaulting to an hourly mindset.

How are you going to terminate poor performers without burdening middle management into mall copping their problematic reports - thus creating a management inefficiency knock-on effect - without having success criteria that is clear to everyone from the top to the bottom of the organization?
You've got to do this so performance-based terminations do not turn into HR litigation nightmares. So, if you can't deduce an employee is not performing to their expectations in a remote-work situation then how the hell are you going to fire them if they sit in a cube all day?

Can you explain this in an hourly vernacular for John Barron?

Sure: you're not paying a software engineer to sit in cube with nothing to do. Additionally, it doesn't matter if they put in 40 hours but shite still don't work.

You are also not paying them to shop for groceries or go to the gym while on the clock. WFH fraudsters love to work half the time but say my work is complete. Good, we will cut your salary in half and pay you for the 20 hours you worked this week.

Lets say we have two employees working for the same company:
Employee A work 40 hours in a week. Employee A produce 20k of value for the company in the week.
Employee B works 20 real hours but was available for 40 hours during the week. Employee B produces 200k of value for the company in the week.
Who do you think the ownership values more? What would be the rational distribution of their revenues?
