Don't underestimate the paranoia of useless middle management who cannot justify their existence by Teams meetings alone and cannot easily brown-nose from home.

- chandler767 3y agoWouldn’t it easier for management of this kind to hide? You can’t see that they are not actually doing anything if they are working from home. In the office they have to justify themselves because otherwise they’re just sitting there.
- mindwok 3y agoIn large organisations, these kinds of managers get to where they are by maximising visibility and building their brand. That can be hard to do remotely unless they’re used to it.
- muzani 3y agoIt's usually the opposite. People who accomplish little often do a lot. You can see ineffective managers multitasking in meetings all the time, then they're at home responding to messages until midnight. A lot of managing might also be wikis and such, but it's easier to schedule 1-1s every week and then have a meeting about when the next meeting is.
