I was laid off, along with many of my remote coworkers, and coworkers in satellite offices. The CTO was internally heard saying that he believed remote does not work for eng.

I am sorry to hear this. I hope things pick up soon again.

Anecdotally, in my neck of the woods, boss started taking 'attendance' and 'someone' complained about leaving early before everyone else. I guess recession is in full swing since employers are embracing all shitty behavior again.

Acknowledging that I don’t know the business or context, “remote does not work for eng” is a bad take.
