As a manager whose direct reports were all located in a different site (California vs NC where I am), most of your negatives also applied to me. Except I was onsite (albeit much smaller than the HQ) and did have a community around me. However, my team was located with the rest of my management chain (directors, VPs, etc) while I was stuck out here "alone".
