    Presenteeisn is such bollocks. If you don't trust me to do the work then I'll work somewhere that does.

      It is and it’s not even about whether the work is being done well or not, it’s about showing fealty to your lords and masters. If you want to check the quality of my work and give intelligent and constructive feedback, I actually appreciate that and it helps me to gain confidence and do a better job (regardless of *where* I’m working from).

      Granted, based on my experience, it’s probably a minority of managers who actually possess the skills to constructively appraise someone’s work, so for most of them, just shut up, keep out of my way and let me get done what needs to be done.
