GoatandTricycle-
very FT way of thinking no?
not sure to be honest.
where i work there are lots of people who do safety critical activities or site based technical roles where you have to be where you have to be, and you have to be focussed on what you are doing for the time you are paid to be doing it.
they look at management on zoom calls with their kids running around in the background and basically think "f*** you lot".

i'm curious about the childcare costs aspect of this - if you are looking after kids at home then you aren't working?
ok if they are ill then you can wfh and still get some stuff done but I don't see how people are simultaneously looking after their kids and being "at work" as a regular thing.
i completely get the flexibility aspect and support that (e.g. some people where I work do pick ups / drop offs and manage their time around that), it's just that surely you still need childcare to effectively wfh?
