I think you are onto something here. One of the things I remembered that really bothered me about my last remote job was that the boss would constantly change the scope of the project right before the deadline..and extend the deadline even further.

I was never part of many of the decision-making meetings with the boss and my project manager and I felt like the manager never had our back. After we met onsite for our first bi-yearly 1-week meeting, I realized that he didn't really have any choice in the matter and did in-fact fight for us when these decisions were made.
