I'm not against remote work, but one thing I notice is that it's more efficient to hash out ideas with someone in person.
Why do you categorically say that something is broken if it requires personal presence?

- jXCw1N0jtH3 10y agoI'm in marketing and working remotely is kind of a pain in the ass, to be honest. I typically want to have in-person chats with product managers, developers, etc. about something or other on more or less on a daily basis. I'm a huge fan of remote work, I've had a full-time remote position previously, I just think sometimes it doesn't work with the culture of a team or business. I don't think that means anything is broken.
