Why are some bosses so extractive in how they deal with team members? Don't they realise that the team members are humans too and there are more important things than work in life?

Honestly it depends on person to person. Some act like a leader and help their team members out and some act like a boss just like to give around orders. People don’t change easily so my suggestion would be start looking for transition in another project under different leader if possible but yes that’s again also a rough road in itself. Seems like these Covid era times are difficult for everyone.

Curiosity question - I’m a naturally very chatty senior and I’ve noticed that the staff 1s who are starting remotely and living at their parents’ home (which makes a ton of sense with the remote working) that I’ve been working with seem to want to chat about both semi related work stuff and non work stuff a fair amount. If you’re a staff living at home, do you enjoy having seniors who will chat with you about random things or would you rather just get your work done and log off?

What should I reasonably expect from a junior?

I manage a junior developer that's been with the company for about 18 months. I end up providing them of TON of support. I need to give them extremely detailed instructions or they fail. For bugs, I need to point them to a specific function that's causing the bug. For new features, I'm basically writing their method signatures and defining their test cases.

I've tried asking them to do more on their own, but when I do, they fail spectacularly.
