I've been working remote for a number of years (both as an engineer and a manager) and it can be a challenge for everyone involved because the lack of norms around remote work.
We are taught early in our careers to show up early, leave late and look as if you are working hard. However, when it comes to remote work the look of working hard cannot be achieved so easily -- so instead of appearances you must focus on results above all else.
This mental shift takes time to achieve and is more easily said than done.
