Yeah if they're not getting it remote I highly doubt they're going to get it with you obsessively watching them. That's a ridiculous idea

i'm not confident they would either, I just like to give everyone as much of a chance to succeed as possible... or at least come to the conclusion that they're not cut out for this on their own so they can find another job before I have to fire them. I also do think some people work better without all the distractions that come with being at home. I know that's the case for me which is why I work from the office.

Again it's their choice. I've done all I can for them.

Also, if they're not getting it done remotely, there's absolutely no guarantee they're going to get it done in an office. Results matter, and good managers and good employers should realize that. If you get your work done and you do a good job, then that's what matters. Of course, it's not always that simple with office politics etc.
