There is a lot that happens at that size - one of which you should have a trust worthy team who does exactly that; its why they get paid - leadership.

His is a Saas firm. This argument is inappropriate as a defense. You can do this a few times, the rest of the time he needs to be in office.

Failing which - like elon said - its an excuse to slack off.

So its either

1) odd sales situation 2) weasel worded sentence 3) delinquency - a la Elon “people who wfh are slacking”

It’s great if it’s 1 and he fixes it, but then he has to get back to office. In which case his “i dont have an office personality” line works against him.
