I'm no longer a new grad, and was onboarded long before COVID. I think those same problems, lack of productivity, understanding unable to tell expectations all applied even in-person. It seems to be more of a supervisor problem than a remote work problem. And as dcolkitt said, unrealistic expectations on how fast that's supposed to take. A lot of new grads are used to an internship which is only ~10 weeks, or a 16 week semester as a timeframe when you should be able to get entirely up to speed and done producing what's needed. But that's not necessarily long enough to truly learn how a team works and what the expectations are at a lot of companies.
