Stop whining and start hiring remote workers
Everything we do to manage a business consisting mainly of remote employees is something anyone else could do too.I would modify "anyone else" to "anyone else enlightened enough". Big difference.It's still amazing how many managers/leaders are so bad at managing/leading that all the tools in the world wouldn't make a bit of difference. You know who they are, the people for whom:  perceived activity = progress
  meetings = progress
  being there = progress
  lines of code = progress
  check marks = completion
  social skills = competence
  perception = reality
  what's on the surface = what's underneath
  # of tasks completed = an acceptable metric
  successful testing = quality software
  smiling customers = satisfaction
  90% complete = only 10% more to go

Good managers know better. So they can take advantage of OP's tools.The technology for managing remotely is clearly ahead of the people who would most benefit from it. I look forward the the day when managers catch up and "get it".
