At our company some people outright admitted on a survey sent out to employees that they would go out and run errands during work hours.

Like, how stupid do you have to be to kill your golden goose of life work balance?

I literally do this IN the office. I will step away and go to a coffee shop and pick something up. Hell I ask my boss if they want anything. I may go for a walk and get a breather. Go to a doc appointment. GO get my teeth cleaned. My bosses do not give a shit as long as my tasks are done to the standard.

That's nothing.

One company near me had parents cancel their daycare when they were allowed to WFH. A lot of employees were trying to care for young kids and "work" at the same time.

		I don't see the issue with this as long as the parents would still be putting the same time/effort into their work. It would just be split up.

		Why do you care as long as you have the same amount of work as before?

> that they would go out and run errands during work hours

So? I do this when I work in an office, and I do this when I work remote. If someone doesn't like it, they can go screw. I put in my hours, and I get my work done.

I don't see what this has to do with remote work. Although I also don't see why anyone would care.
