I recently left a job that I was 100% checked out of. It was a fine job before Covid but something about the switch to remote absolutely ruined it.

Things that used to take 2-3 hours to plan started taking 6 weeks as management insisted on being deeply involved. Instead of infrequent project check-ins, 18 hours a week was blocked off to management updates. Shortly before I put in my 2 weeks I had project update meeting where my status was something like Accomplishments: held status update meetings on 11/1, 11/3, 11/8, 11/12, 11/15, and 11/18.

That job broke me and I just stopped caring. The new one is much better.
