This is what the problem is. If you trust your team, you don't need middle management whose sole purpose is to hover around. They're the ones complaining to uppers about wanting in-person time. If everyone's at home checking off their milestones, what do you need all these managers around for?

I could write a long-ass reply to this, but I'll get to the point, I rock at multi-tasking and juggling all my priorities. It makes absolutely no sense to me that some random dude should get to what I can and can't be working on, for the only benefit of meeting made-up deadlines and not mixing "points" up in some burn chart. I am good at this because I know how to exploit my brain to fill my entire days with relevant work. If you assign me stuff at random because of office politic it is gonna be shit.

I think a lot of careers are bullshit but we somehow tolerate them so the rich kids who went to college for them don't have to work at burger king.
