I understand your perspective, but I'd expect any manager to know how to measure progress and reward their team accordingly. Our daily and weekly meetings already ensure transparency and everyone knows what everyone else is working on. It's frustrating to need so much effort spent on self-promotion when that time could be better used for meaningful work.
I was cat sitting for my neighbor and during a Zoom call he jumped on my back and started scratching me. I pushed him off, but he kept coming at me. I ended up returning him the same day. That cat was wild!
