I hate remote work because it means I have to pay attention to overall output and the progress of the project instead of constantly surveilling and lording my authority over the workers, who I view as subhuman tools for my own enrichment.
One thing I’ve learned is people don’t read, at all, even short text.
The micromanagers they have no fucking clue what’s going on if it’s written down, they need to interrupt and have you explain what it is or they have no idea what is happening.
Their boss goes “how’s the team doing, what are they working on” and they look like shit because they don’t actually read your status updates or standup or project board.
I really think that’s 80% of the problem here. We went remote without retraining and rethinking who the bosses are for that environment.
Does that about sum it up?
