> I guess expecting an employee to do actual work could ruin some ones lifestyle. I've been in a couple of companies now where only a few people "work" and the rest do "other stuff", I would have been happy in both those for someone like Musk to take over.

I can sympathise with this, but that's if anything anticorrelated with coming into the office - the people who work the least are those who make the most effort at being seen.

Not necessarily, but there’s certainly something to the unreasonable effectiveness of ‘just showing up’.

Not my experience at all. Presenteeism is probably the biggest drag on productivity going.

Oh, no, I mean from a career advancement perspective. Even if your contribution is a net negative you still look like you are at least working hard.
