I think it may be better in the long run to be open about the WFH lifestyle and reach a common understanding. It’s impossible for hundreds of millions of people to keep a secret forever anyway.

The fact of the matter is that it’s impossible to distribute tasks in sufficiently large (i.e., 10+ employee) companies with 100% efficiency, and that’s okay. Employees will always have at least some downtime, and one of the brilliant advantages of remote work is that employees can actually use that time to improve their own lives effectively. The sooner we can get employers to accept that, the better. It’s not like it actually hurts them in any way: employee satisfaction improves retention, and it simply isn’t possible to fully eliminate this downtime anyway.
