Tell that to the dashboards that track my in-office days.

In a comment you mentioned you're the team lead. Maybe you already are, but just in case: stop thinking about it in terms of the individual personal relationship and start thinking about it in terms of the team dynamic. It's unlikely this only affects you, so even if their individual work performance is fine, does their behavior affect other people's performance or happiness at work? If it's affecting others negatively it's your responsibility to protect them and their work output, even if that means finding a new team for this person or documenting a path to letting them go altogether.

I don't envy you. Good luck.

“People can be out there taking photos of the sunset and then go home and murder their spouse,” Sponsel said in response to a question from her attorney. “Does that necessarily mean they were innocent of murdering their spouse because they were taking pictures of the sunset earlier in the day?

For anyone wondering like me:

The internet often makes me wish I was funny enough to think of an analogy that involves babies and cannons. This is another example.

There was a study done on this kind of mentality. Researches invited pairs of players and before each game flipped a coin to designate one player rich and the other poor. The rich player was then given more money and an easier set of rules. At the end of the game they interviewed the player that inevitably won, and in all cases the players reported that they won because of key decisions they made while playing. Not one mentioned they got lucky with the coin flip.

Mission accomplished
