At my job it seemed like they might attempt this, but I think they realized there’s no way to extract as much labor out of people if you have them come into an office.
Practically speaking, when you work from an office you leave your work there. When you work from home, there’s 12 or 18 hour shifts with no bio — or other — breaks.
It wasn’t Bush. He just extended an already-abused loophole a bit. I started work when Reagan was president, had a middle-management job, worked lots of overtime and never got paid for it. And “middle management” didn’t mean I had any direct reports. It just meant I had technical oversight over the work of some developers. It’s been a racket for a very long time.
