It is a bad take.
Most managers were people doing stuff who got promoted into 'managing' stuff with no obvious output or direct value. It's not really surprising that a chain of these people would knee-jerk react weirdly in a situation they felt exposed as not being that useful / have their limited people a management skills tested in a situation they themselves likely didn't experience.
- ip26 3y agoTo reframe your argument more charitably, it seems like most people agree that managing a remote team well is probably a lot harder than in person, and we already know that many managers have not even received the training to do well with an in person team. So we should not be surprised if they are not taking this well.
