Managers are managers because they're good at playing power games, not because they're good at their jobs. These games are harder to play if people aren't there. That's why they're so scared.
When I got my newest job the boss was bragging about I can work as much overtime as I want at 1.5x. like bitch I want undertime, let me work less!
As a manager, I empower my team to work remotely as much as possible 🤷
Rule for my team is I don’t care where you are as long as shit gets done and I can find you if I need you.
Some managers are actually really good at resolving conflicts without bias and keeping the team functioning smoothly. In tech at least, people who make things aren't always that great at interacting with other people.
Of course, the kind of manager I'm talking about doesn't care how/when/where the work gets done, and they don't micro-manage.
OK OK, I'm not saying all managers are like that. But I've certainly met a lot of them in my time.
