Yes, if the company isn't already really distributed. In my case, I was an on-site developer for years, transitioned into management, then moved remote. As time passed, my management got more and more annoying as clearly they'd have preferred I be local. It's particularly tough for things like hiring. As a manager, you typically want to meet the candidate, so you do the intro and exit portions. That's hard to do remote, and somewhat less effective when trying to hire to a local office. Unfortunately, the old saying "out of sight, out of mind" comes into play. And the more out of sight, the more out of mind.
