It's not about the employee, it's about the supervisor being able to justify their position with remote employees. They can no longer micromanage by walking the aisles of cubicles or offices to see people working, so they have to justify their existence in some way in a WFH environment.
You don't need to do that in person either. Somebody is getting done what is expected of them or not.
Yup.
This isn't about performance, it is about control.
Worse still, if the employee is still getting work done without said middle manager "adding value" then why keep the middle manager?
Even worse still, what if the employee is getting the same amount of work done in less time... Perhaps there are bigger problems, in management.
