You’re just at the wrong culture, remote work is still great on a team where your output is measured, rather than anything else

Thankfully the team I am on treats us like adults. Nobody is checking your slack status or making sure you’re at your desk for 8 hours a day. If you are missing deadlines or the quality of your work slips a conversation will be had but we aren’t being babysat.

I knew my boss watched my Teams status, so even if I stepped away from my own desk to my own bathroom, I'd take my phone and keep the little green checkmark online. Then I quit.

I have a different form of hell where they stick me in meetings all day everyday (often double or triple booked), and then expect that I have any time to do any part of my job that isn't sitting in meetings.

Too many shitty companies out there. I've worked at a place like that before. The best way to get promoted is to find a new job that will appreciate your efforts

Yup, it ain't fair:

I mean I would prefer in office if my office was like within a few blocks of where I live.
