see you for extended periods of time... and I mean see you as be in the same room with you, not just talk to you on the phone or online, they instinctively think you are doing nothing, and are thus no longer needed at the company.
A previous employer of mine had a surprise round of layoffs and nearly every single person that was let go was remotely managed. Some were work at home, others were simply working at a satellite office with many other employees, but their direct manager was located at a different location. So, I completely agree with this point.
