> and I worry about my ability to advance. This is another hidden downside to remote work; the sycophants and ladder climbers (not accusing you of being one) didn't go away, they simply had to adapt to the environment and find new means of doing so. In my experience this entailed being invited to endless clearly-unnecessary-but-mandatory Zoom meetings, the value of which was at best questionable. Only to find out said meeting was really a scheme for management visibility, filmed before a live studio audience of senior engineers.
