> Overall, I think remote work can be great, but I've personally seen many who see it as an excuse to drop the useful interpersonal interactions and just do "their work", often in less time than would have been budgeted in person. If that's how some employees work best, ok, but I think the workload has to be revisited to account for what time people have available and what they are not doing but being remote. It can't just be a have your cake and eat it too situation.

I do not understand what you're trying to say with your "have your cake and eat it too". It reads like you frown upon people being more productive when working at homes and thus you somehow think it's a good idea to punish them for it.
