Every morning before I start my work day, my boss demands that I send a detailed agenda of what I’ll be doing and when I’ll be doing it. They actually get mad if I forget to include something on the agenda… Is this a sacrifice I should’ve expected to make when I took a remote position, or is my boss just crazy?

Your boss is crazy, there’s no respect or trust there. You gotta get out

Ya he's crazy. You don't need to be micro managed. Get out

I’ve never experienced this at a single bulge bracket in 10 years. Should note that I have always been in non-financial/compliance risk management roles going between front office and middle, but it seems like your manager likes to micro manage or has some trust issues. Playing devil’s advocate to myself, is your team very operational (e.g, needs to report tasks completed and reviewed in a day but lacks a system)? Or could this be a directive from their manager? In the end, if that information is not being used beyond their own personal needs, that would drive me to at least look for a spot on another team.

Definitely crazy. I’m mostly remote and my manager and I have a catch up call once a week. He knows what my job entails and that I’m getting it done - no need for a daily list.

When remote…we have a live Zoom that runs from 7am to 6pm…video on.

Yeah lol. I would start forgetting once a week then twice a week…

To be fair I did do something similar to a staff that was under performing and I was trying to manage out. Even at that I only asked for a recap write up once a week.

Run away fast! That’s absolutely nuts. Things change during the course of a day, so,etchings taken loner than expected, some less. This is micromanaging to,an extreme. Get out as fast as you can.
