Yeah like, in my current WFH implementation support position I'm able to work on school work and paint Warhammer minis if everything else is done. I'm gaining new skills which will benefit the company thanks to going to school, thanks to the hobbying I'm happier so my mental health is better so I'm able to have near perfect attendance, and still all my work scheduled is done every day. I really don't see why this idea that ppl need to be working 100% of the workday every day persists. The situation I'm in is basically a win all around, but some suit with a spreadsheet still sees only the opportunity cost lost by <100% productivity which yields .1% lower profits or something

That suit is incompetent. He compares real metrics with imagined metrics, of course the latter are going to be better.
