When lockdown was on and off, it had the opposite effect. People would slack off more because they were visible at their computers. And they justified slacking off at work because they just spent a couple hours commuting. You can't say that someone who's at their computer all day isn't doing their best, but the results were clearly showing that everyone was getting half as much work done.

Pull requests generally ping the whole team, so during wfh, some of them would do it well into the night to prove that they were working hard. It's probably a bit of politics to show that remote was more productive too.
