>Finishes all assigned tasks and projects on time

This is bad?

>These sound like a description of a perfect employee

Yes it does.

>The employee is a psychopath

Completing their work on time is psychopath behavior? shifts in seat

>The employee has nothing important to do all day

Your employer's work isn't important? Most of the time or like all the time?

>The employee cannot say no, doesn't have personal opinion and/or boundaries

Employees are paid to say no. This is a bad employee! Fire them right away!

> Your employer's work isn't important?

All work tasks can't be equally important, in my opinion. Some are more important and must be completed on time, some are less important and may be postponed if there were more important tasks. Some are not important at all.

It's very strange if somebody always has enough time to do _all_ the tasks, even the least important ones, I think.

A good remote employee is always busy and unable to complete _all_ the tasks? That their workload must be high enough that low importance tasks are to be ignored?

I spot a bad remote manager:

* they are so disconnected that nobody will tell them that an employee is being an abusive psychopath

* they fail to communicate the value of what their team does, leading to them getting assigned all the shit work

* they have so much free time that they can think of lists like this
