Think there's an agenda with this work-from-home,

 - in yer footie-jams (mental pictures, mental pictures - ew, that's gross 😝).  By the way, it's one thing to log onto the employer-purchased 'puter and monitor at 6 am on a saturday morning (when your normal hours begin at 8:15 - or did deena-dutchess change that up to 7:45?).  But it's WAY another to actually put on grown-ups' clothing, and drive to the office.  OK, that all said.

For the present, working from home means, no boss looking over your shoulder - as he, or she, takes a stroll about the cube farm.  Uhm, after all, the employer does pay hourly - and would prefer most of that hour be spent doing the job. But at home, while the on-line meeting is in progress, you could be browsing the new line of holiday doggie-sweaters on your personal smart phone. And it gets even better: if you choose not to shell out for the INSANNNE cost of child-care, who's gonna know, whether or not, you're abiding by that workplace rule? 

Meanwhile, employers, (who are in still in process of downsizing) are still paying rent and utilities for office space - where thirty people used to work at their desks - now, for only two or three (of the old heads).  Needful to say, what had remained of the downtown merchants, before the pLandemic, most have closed, for lack of business.  

There used to be this bohemian shop... but that was some years ago.  Had bought a dress there, it was long, and made of 100% cotton, and it was fully lined, with 100% cotton - not the hefty-bag/blend crap, that's sold at the mall.  On the way to getting the bus, would stop in to do a recon - white cotton sundresses make perfect slips 😀 .   That all said.

Have to wonder, if not quite enough time has passed for the jimmy-jam set to fOOly(?) get comfy.  With Artificial Intelligence (a.k.a., Augmented Intelligence) becoming more efficient, and cheaper, are there additional invasive monitoring procedures being reviewed, and decided upon boardroom tables? Do these mo(oo)vers-and-shake(downer)s already have legislators and judges on speed dial?  

AI...oh wait, another few years - if that - AI will be fully qualified to do the job; the business won't need to ... horrors, pay a human.
