I've been in a place where it felt like important decisions were made not only without my input (actually fine, being a good software dev don't mean I'm a businessperson), but also where this decision wasn't subsequently communicated with me (bad, because that meant I was still working towards the previous goal).

That was well before remote work became a norm. But it is easy to fall into habits, including communication habits, that better suit one style of work than the other.
