Any decent boss should be talking to their people by phone or IM almost every day.

It should be kinda obvious if somebody is “faking it”.

My remote job could only be done by a handful of people in the whole country. It also required zoom meetings with senior management where very tough questions were asked and I had to answer them.

Remote work does require bosses with intelligence above Neanderthal level.

If you report to a regional Vice President or Director he is not going to want to talk everyday. You might be right if it is an average worker forced home by Covid-19, but there many other professionals who work from home having little contact with a boss a thousand miles away.   He would only call if you don't get your documents and presentations to his secretary or assistant on time.
