We (Defense contractors) are having problems with folks going silent for extended periods with no explanation as to what they were doing...or not.  Fired one just last week for non-productivity, the third in about six months.  Problem is that the job market is so employee-friendly, especially in cybersecurity, that the ones we fire pop up working for a similar organization, either Defense or other Federal employment within a few short weeks.  We get tired of their excuses, read them the riot act, and they might do better for a few days.  But they quickly fall back into their bad habits.  I work part-time, about 20-24 hours per week, and just do't understand why some of the full-time folks don't get any more done than they do. 

The organization we support, prtematurely in my opinion, stated during the pandemic that it would be work-from-home from this point forward.  They shut down the facilities that were their offices and retrenched to much smaller "hoteling" spaces for when meetings had to be face-to-face.  In the beginning everyone embraced the idea and productivity was good, but it has fallen off at time passes.  Indeed there are those who will be very responsible and responsive, but unfortunately the others drive us nuts because we can't count on them.
