Remote Employee Reports Extended Daily Video Calls with Manager Affecting Work
A remote employee reports spending nearly six to eight hours daily on video and phone calls with their manager, many of which involve non-work-related conversations. The employee feels overwhelmed as the manager frequently seeks their input on decisions, effectively outsourcing managerial responsibilities. Concerned about the manager's insecurity and emotional reactions, the employee is hesitant to set boundaries or report the issue to HR, despite the calls affecting their focus and job satisfaction.
