Probably an unpopular opinion but as someone working in a creative side of a tech company, my interactions with remote workers are tedious at best.
Discussions that would be counted in seconds sitting side by side turn into 10-20 minute long video awkward skype calls.
There is so much anecdotal evidence in blog posts about how great remote is for your devs because "an interruption costs 15 minutes of concentration" yet very little about the reality of other people in the organisation having to work with these privileged employees.
- zip1234 9y ago"having to work with these privileged employees" That is a big problem with remote work--that it is viewed as being a privileged employee. If companies have remote workers, they should allow anyone to work remotely and design interactions around remote work. Otherwise, you end up with resentment and poor communication. By design interactions I mean figuring out a method/system of communication that works just as well as in the office. Some companies do this with video boards/google hangouts.
