Exactly. And poor managers need to see people in the office and they immediately assume they are working. Having managed remote employees for years and being remote because I constantly traveled, the shift to home during the pandemic was no big deal. For others who insist employees weren’t working if they weren’t in the office, the pandemic shift was really difficult. And then you find out how they manage. Most said they didn’t talk to their teams more then once per month. That’s crazy.

That’s common in most menial labor jobs like in fast-food and grocery stores. “If you ain’t moving, you ain’t working and you find something else to do/ work on, like clean, take out the trash, restock or face product”
Shouldn’t be in white-collar work (those that don’t trust their workforce use crap like Time Doctor to take camera and screenshots at random a few times an hour)
