> If all the discussions are written, there is no risk of forgetting anything Remote working enforces discipline, which is good in the long run, but is not very rewarding in the short run and requires the pre-loading of effort. Humans are really bad at making those sort of trade-offs. That's why many of us still eat fast food, smoke, and don't exercise. Even though you're "doing the right thing", there are immediate up front costs for theoretical (but very real) benefits down the road. Even though you're doing the right thing, maybe an organization isn't quite prepared to pay the costs to do things that way. Hence, "work tax". Also, my assertion that remote work is mainly for healthy organizations holds sway. It really magnified and focuses a light on an organization's details and flaws, and many people don't like that.
