1) Unfortunately yes, I have seen some of that. I mean both the companies and the sideline quarterbacks.

2) Of course, but I’d hope most companies would be smart enough to be paying for productive output, not for bodily location.

3) Agreed. I personally prefer remote work, but I know many people who prefer going in - either to better structure their day, or to see others, and they should be able to do that. And I believe a competent company structure can support both of those work patterns. (At companies large enough for that sort of complexity)
