Fire them.

One hard rule I have for my team is not being responsive on IM for extended periods is treated the same as not showing up for work.

If people need to be taught how to work remotely, or anywhere for that matter, then the company has the wrong people, or maybe interns who need such training.

So no one can do any sort of deep work in your team. Should definitely mention that in interviews for potential candidates to spot red flags.

If “deep work” means can’t function as a team member and communicate in a timely and professional manner, like we all did when working in an office was more common, yes I let them know.
