ROWE - Results Oriented Work Environment. If only the world were so simple that everyone's contribution can be put into a nice neat box. When work can be so well defined, it doesn't get outsourced to a 1 bedroom in San Francisco, it gets outsourced to the cheapest spot on the planet.
Creative work (R&D included) can be hard to define. It depends on random interactions between people. It requires both collaboration and periods of quiet. And the outputs can be very hard for a CEO to define in advance.
Remote-only can work ok for "Designed for remote-only" companies, but they are the exception not the rule.
100% remote can also work for employees who spent a lot of time in the office building their networks, reputations and relationships.
It's ok for people to say "I'll only ever work remote" but you can quickly find yourself in a very tight box.
