The opposite. In work-from-home situations, BS jobholders (which I generally define as managers with few actual skills other than managing) continually need to justify their existence, which they love to do via constant and excessive videochats with anyone and everyone. Meanwhile productive workers are more invisible than ever, lacking the random hallway, coffee machine, bathroom run-ins with top execs/mgmt.
People think this stuff doesn't matter, that they treat everyone fairly, but when the hard decisions about who to cut need to be made, that frequent visual reminder (along with all the tasks they insist they are managing, but which other people are actually doing) is a huge advantage in remaining employed.
