they are to do it the way the employer wants. If the employee doesn't like the rules and conditions, they are free to leave.
I think this has been somehow changed in recent year due to the pandemic and the mindset of GEN Z. Working remotely has been a reality and an employee can demand it. To me, if a task can be done in time, it can be done anywhere, if possible.
But when it isn't being done well? :D
This would show that the employee is not suitable for working remotely. I have seen that working remotely has been embraced by employees around the world. Some people are not willing to do so as either they prefer working at office or the enviroenment at their home is not okay.
