How do you go about your manager not trusting you when working from home?
I work in the office most days but the days that I do work from home, I feel constantly watched and almost micro managed, which makes me super anxious. Any tips on how to manage this?

I’d keep communication tight: send regular updates, share your to-do list, and be proactive about check-ins without being overbearing. Sometimes managers just need proof you’re on top of things before easing up.

It’s frustrating though as I don’t feel I should be showing them my every move. If the work is getting done it frustrates me that I’d need to prove to them I’m working. But totally get that sending to do lists etc would help

Yeah that isn’t right! Definitely keep your manager updated even more and show you are perfectly capable

I absolutely will do, but I feel it’s such a weakness from their point to have employees need to do that to make them trust they are working

I’ve been a freelance print production designer for many years, and usually on-site in the before times. Now I work remote, and am finding it uneasy dealing with billing. Before I always billed hourly, which made sense, but it’s becoming an issue now. Some companies don’t have a full days’ work, so it seems wrong to bill full days, and it allows me to juggle projects for different companies, but my billable hours are down. I know I should bill a daily rate, but not sure that will fly. Thoughts?
