Employee quits after 2 years of staying on Zoom call with manager 8 hours a day every day at work: 'Never accept a job under these conditions'

Why did he feel the need to always be watching?While few jobs are ever going to be totally supervision-free, one of the supposed benefits of working remotely is that an employee has a little more freedom with how they approach their workday. So long as they get done what they need to get done and look suitably productive to management, they can enjoy the peace and quiet of not having a nosy colleague breathing down their neck (and maybe put on a load of laundry between meetings, too).This is also a big reason that many companies don't like to let their employees work from home. They want as much control as possible over what they are doing, and that is a lot more difficult when they aren't all coming into the office. Still, in this modern world we're living in, more flexible working arrangements are the future. Even the more traditional parts of the corporate world have to make some concessions. However, these usually happen with specific terms and conditions attached. They don't want their workers to get too relaxed or forget that they should be switched on and contributing to their job at all possible times.
