This is what happens when you join a Non Remote-Friendly company as a Remote Employee.
They didn't really have much to tell. They just kept saying "performance." I asked them what data points they used to evaluate my performance. No proper answer. For the onshore client I was working with every single day, they didn't even bother taking feedback from them. Those were the people who actually reviewed my code, assigned me work, saw my day-to-day performance and worked with me till late nights. Apparently, none of that mattered. Instead, the Indian service company—which barely had anything to do with the actual delivery—decided I was underperforming. For context: Then they started bringing up things that honestly felt like they were just trying to build a case somehow. I used to join standups around 5 minutes late because of a medical appointment that I simply can't reschedule. I informed the team every single day . The client-side manager never had a problem. The onshore team never had a problem. Nobody mentioned it for almost 3 months . Today suddenly it became a performance issue. Then came the AI sessions. Apparently I wasn't attending them consistently. Those sessions were honestly crap. Same Copilot demo every week by a junior engineer reading from an instruction document. We didn't even use that stuff in our actual project. I still joined most of them because it was made mandatory, but somehow this also became part of my "performance." Now comes my favourite part. She literally asked other team members to keep watching me. Whether my Slack status was green. Whether my Teams status was green. Whether I was available. We used Tea…
