I've ran a remote-only company for 8 years and generally struggled to find employees who are suitable working remote. Especially junior employees I've had no luck. The best remote employees I've found are those who tend to be entrepreneurial in nature and usually more senior. They seem to possess the necessary self-discipline and taking ownership of getting work accomplished despite nobody directly keeping an eye on them.
- fermienrico 7y ago10x this - Not everyone is motivated and deciplined to work a full day without distractions, loss of motivation and productivity. Employees, young or old, that lack initiative and drive - they will make poor remote workers. Don't let the cool thing of 2020's, i.e. going remote, fool you. The hype these days is digital nomads and all-remote companies (such as Gitlab) but there are disadvantages, you like it or not, it is a fact. Human bonds get stronger when we're physically present with each other, team dynamics improves and morale improves. I personally cannot do remote-only work and I am an introvert in every sense of the word. No amount of video/VR chat will replace that.
