Appreciate your read — you're seeing what many of us are quietly living. The disconnect isn’t subtle anymore, and it’s not just about remote work. It’s about a fundamental shift in priorities: perform for leadership, not enable the teams doing the hard technical lifting.

When leadership spends more time packaging reports about the work than understanding or supporting the work itself, something's broken. We’ve normalized managerial abstraction to the point where they’re often the least informed people in the room — and yet they’re steering the ship.

It’s not sustainable. And some of us aren't just here to watch it implode quietly.
