Pre covid an old guy was upset he couldn't work from home a few days now and then. He was talking about his boss and said

"if you don't trust me to work at home, then don't trust me to work in the office. Because if I am a cheat, it doesn't matter where I sit".

This is the only answer. If there is work being done, then they are working. Even if they are asking their friends or a bot to do. PERIOD.
