it's really an indictment of management, whose inability to learn how to manage a remote workforce means that they default back to the idea of management by walking around that they learned at HBS

if your management tree is a bunch of ex MBB consultants, you absolutely have this problem whether you believe so or not

It is. My favorite story as an immediate aftermath of post-covid was a middle manager complaining that he 'had to throw away his toolset' ( code word for being able to threaten people into compliance ). Management and executive class have been skating by and, having completed my MBA not that long ago, I can categorically say that some reckoning is due.
