> There is a story of mysql as a company who had an employee who was not reachable for a few months.

How does this have anything to do with WFH? If someone is not reachable and has not communicated up front they are going to be out, then fire them. This is no different than if they just stopped showing up to an office job.

I always love the arguments that are around 'well how will I know my programmers are working'? Well, how do you know they are working when they are in the office?
