The problem with remote work for me is that what I do isn't seen by everybody. When I was in the cube farm there would be constant contact and sharing. We knew what everyone was working on and would constantly be pinging each other for information. Now things are more insular, if someone isn't working on my project I don't necessarily know what's going on.
Another issue is I can't gauge people's frustration levels before I poll them for help. In the office it was obvious if John/Jane was having a bad day and needed some time to work through things. Now I just pop up on their screen out of nowhere saying "Hi!!!! Help me now!" This makes me a little anxious and makes me hesitate to reach out.
