Her work suffered and when I would have discussions about her drop in performance she would blame everyone and everything else.
All in all it really is based on the associates work habits...most who work hard at work will also work hard at home. But not in every case

I know the scenario well, but I used to tell the bosses and supervisors under me that it's partly up to them to find these issues and solve them by assigning work. It's never that easy, but the bosses know who's slacking and who's not, and in our case we let people know that work was going to assigned fairly, documented, quality reviews performed, and people below the curve would be remediated - to include terminating Telework.
But I was lucky, network engineers, especially the WAN folks, aren't usually too much of a problem when it comes to these sorts of things.
