1. As a Manager, it's a frickin almost impossible situation to keep people accountable if you don't have an absolute great team in place.

I don't get it. How do you keep people accountable if they're in the office? Whatever the answer to that question is, that's the answer to how you keep them accountable when they WFH.

They have x amount of work to be done, are they doing it? It's simplified, but that's what it boils down to, and I don't see where an employee works being an issue to holding them accountable for their daily responsibilities.

I can't account for 20 digital workers besides seeing a green dot on Teams. Heck, they give out phones with Teams on them that make you seem present and available.

Are they salaried? Hourly and have some sort of productivity?

Either way, you should know if they're getting their job done or not. As for the Teams thing, if they're not responding to you or someone else in a timely fashion, that's a problem that should be dealt with. Again, this should be pretty easy stuff.

2. I think remote work limits your ability to network and really advocate for yourself within a large organization. You become a true number. Just my opinion.

There can definitely be some truth to this in certain situations.
