This is so key - there was some awareness early on that people weren't "working from home" in any normal sense - we were/are "working during a global pandemic". Forced WFH is only one side effect, and trying to analyze the success/failure of WFH with a sample during Covid is probably one of the worst possible management strategies. I see the naive appeal, but the base conditions are completely unrepresentative of the target state.

If you are a manager evaluating the effect of WFH during Covid without the ability to compare it with WFH before Covid, just stop.
