I can't tell if this is serious.

If you are serious, what's stopping me from renting a space for 1 hour, getting the check mark and going back home to my slum?

Or fixing up my place, getting rid of kids toys, getting the check mark, then letting things go back to before?

Seriously though, if you can't do your job, your manager should be able to figure it out.

I mean, I hate it, but it's not THAT far from certain requirements that you can run into. For instance....when doing games development as an indie dev, you can't have a Playstation devkit at home unless you have certified locks installed on all doors, the devkit is positioned out of view, the window isn't easily accessible from the outside(preferably with metal bars)....it's a pain to actually demonstrate that your place of work is safe enough to have a devkit present there.....otherwise they just won't send you one, end of story. So yes, in order to just do your job from home, there is a requirement for a level of security and setup involved.

As an aside - funny how in the pandemic these requirements were massively relaxed and as a remote worker I currently have a PS5 devkit on my desk like it's a not big thing.

It could be trivial to do an express “recertification” by recording a video of your workspace once in a while, after you’ve done the full certification.

I think we all need constant monitoring and certification that we're not shitting our pants. Because, you know, shitting one's pants is bad, so we totally need some patroling to save people from this. Can we count as a civilized society while we let pants-shitting happen to our citizens?
