And the first sign they used to look far was whether or not you were even at your desk typing...

Man this is so true.. my manager HATES it when I'm not in office. Granted she doesn't interact with me and I'm not a mission critical person... But every other Wednesday is in office day.. and if she happens to stroll by and I'm not in.. I hear about it.

Middle manager gonna middle manage I guess

My gf got this from a manager 3 levels removed. She's just handed in her resignation at that place after getting a long overdue step up by looking elsewhere, because while that manager noticed if she didn't see people in the office, nobody noticed whether or not you actually did a good job. The upside of the increase of remote work, of course, being that people who do well has a larger pool of potential places to apply to in order to leave these clowns behind.
