This new 'quarantine work' is just an awkward retrofit - those positions (and their managers) were never designed to work remotely in the first place.

I spent 4 years remote in a position designed for it, and it was still a challenge even on the best days. You have to communicate twice as much as everyone who is on site.

It's hard to learn all the remote working lessons at the same time as everyone else in your family is also learning them. Crash course in boundaries.
