Let's be honest, as soon as L5 is cleared the human driver will be disposable in the context of home deliveries. Then, $1 delivery will be the standard, the crazy surcharges will be gone and you will order all the things you crave without hesitation. Look at Starship on campuses.
Business Insider also made searchable versions of both the black book[1] and the flight logs[2] - they're done to a much more professional standard than my buggy little side project is, but they're both unfortunately behind a paywall.
Apple is 100% correct in this decision to ensure their apex tech company status.
From personal experience with so called "professionals" at gov level that worked from home, they think it's a vacation not work. No observation of decorum, protocol, or consistency.
Your environment orients how you interpret and interact with the tasks at hand. If you have to pick between stirring the sauce before it burns or taking the time to type cohesive notes during a videoconference/call, your sense of urgency will have a bias towards saving the sauce. Because after all, you are home.
This is the most hamfisted nonsense I've read in a while. Just say "I like to micromanage people" and be done with it. The fact that you're worried about what/how other people are using or dealing with their time says way more about you than about working environments. Some people don't do well without working in an office, other people do quite well working outside of a traditional office setting.
Counter point from experience working with a large team (~2k ppl) that's distributed and working from home well before the pandemic: decorum, protocol and consistency also exist at home, they just required a different discipline and different skills from managers.
If anything, we all noticed that more work gets done at home, and people are more responsive than when office.
I deal with about 50:50 government and commercial employees. Big tech, start-ups, GOFOs to junior enlisted. Most government employees are paid significantly less than their commercial counterparts. They're stirring the sauce because they can't afford to have DoorDash deliver Vaso Azzurro to their door.
Start-up employees, in my experience, are more like government workers, but they are still living pretty well comparatively, and, in my sample, are significantly less likely to have kids, so the dollars go quite a bit further.
It would be interesting to consider other aspects from pre-Columbus times that we should consider integrating in our daily life.
