Yep, wish my employer saw this the same way. I (mid/senior level IC) have unintentionally found myself responsible for breathing down the neck of a flagrant remote non-worker.

Very frustrating as someone who doesn’t really want to be a manager. Feels gross to say, but this field (and beyond?) needs to be better at recognizing who can/can’t be trusted with remote work. Not sure what the answer is though, because I sure as hell don’t want more egregious surveillance and/or a more PIP-happy employer.
