In an office someone would know if they were absent and off down the golf course. Somewhat harder to manage when they are WFH. Freelancers and similar will be working just as hard and long from home as their livelihood depends on what they produce. Same can’t be said of all jobs.
Sorry Den, can’t serve you a pint the delivery man and all the bar staff decided today was a WFH one…

I don’t think you’ve managed staff for a while have you.
Clearly some roles can’t be done from home. So that’s not relevant.
The ones that can be, and both parties agree to it, simply need managing properly.
If someone is skiving then your performance management measures should pick that up. If you don’t know what you want your staff to achieve, and don’t have a way of measuring that then you’re a **** manager. This mythical person on the golf course would have just been in the office on Facebook instead.
Being present in the place of work isn’t good performance, achieving the outcomes you’ve set is.

Don’t you think in certain areas in large organisations
I’m thinking HR they keep the staff so the manager keeps his job as he manages more people? Rather than looking at what the ****s, I don’t like HR, are actually doing?

As I said
Poor management.
And poor manager will manage poorly wherever their staff work. regardless
