Summary
Remote workers face increasing micromanagement and surveillance tactics such as mandatory calendar sharing, real-time status tracking, and frequent one-on-one reviews that undermine autonomy and trust. This creates a hostile work environment and stifles productivity. Despite the availability of basic communication tools, the problem persists because it stems from management distrust rather than lack of tools.
