If you don’t know why or how your management figures out what to build or if what you’re building is what they need, and don’t see how that’s related to remote work, there’s not much I can do to help you.

What are you even going on about? Discussing what to build isn't what we are talking about here. Mor to mention, my management doesn't talk about that. The business side does. And this topic is covered via meeting. Whether those meeting are remote or not do not matter. Now please stop trolling this topic.

So,

a) we're not talking about how people decide what to build, as that has nothing to do with working remotely,

b) managers aren't involved in determining either what to build or how well the plan to build something was executed, and

c) the people who do decide those things have meetings which are irrelevant when talking about working remotely or in person.

Am I understanding you correctly?

I've implied that I'm done with this conversation as it seems you're trolling.

Not trolling, I just know in difficult conversations it’s sometimes helpful to restate what the other person is saying to try and figure out the disconnect.
