I wonder where they get productivity data.

An owner of a company I'm close with found her employee was abusing work from home. This same employee was formerly a Superstar or so we thought.

Maybe bad management, but I found myself calling a 7 hour work from home day 8 hours too.

For the same pay, would you rather have one person get a lot done in 6 hours or another person get little done in 9 hours? If an employee was underperforming for 10 hours a day, would your friend keep them on? Truthfully, the only things that matter from the company's perspective are the output and the price. It's wrong to misrepresent your hours worked, just as it's wrong to lie about the color of your pants, but a rational company wouldn't ask about either.
