Yeah. I feel like a lot of the people here like the idea of WFH, but don't understand that it is really easy to become a cog in a manager's Gantt chart and "doing your job" can mean wildly different things to your manager.

That's not exclusive to WFH.

But it can become a lot worse with WFH, especially as the level of communication goes down. And if you hear the complaints from a lot of people here, they are apparently working with managers that don't do that.
