mind.

And it comes down to a few things.
1) how do managers gauge their employees contributions. Some have to see you to think you are productive. Some use Jira tickets or some other ticketing system to gauge it. Others, talk to you. Many use scrums to get mass updates.
2) communication: how often do employees communicate their progress, success, etc. Being in the office for some is a boon because they talk more to the uppers and get the peacock notice effect going. Others just do work and get ignored, or taken for granted. etc.
3) visibilty. sure, this is part of or perhaps the parent of the other things mentioned. But visibilty means a lot. The fact is, when you work in an office and you rarely see someone you just think they aren't working much. Now if that is you, and they WFH, well, ......
4) Unfortunately, too many managers believe you are more productive if you sit in a large open room and "share' Despite the fact that study after study shows communication actuallys declines in that setting.
5) metrics. maybe there weren't any before so no one knows how effective or ineffective their employees were before WFH, but now that they WFH, unlike the original poster's claims. management is going to expect you to be more effective. Because now that metric matters to them.
etc.

So to be successful at WFH is like being successful working over seas. both the employee and manager have to communicate effectively about the contributions for both to feel like it is working.
