I might be simplifying too much, but I would be surprised if more remote work didn't catch on. A decentralized workforce is easier to control in some aspects that are incredibly attractive to corporate leaders. Fewer spontaneous and f2f interactions between people makes it easier to: 1) Ensure folks are focusing primarily on work instead of anything else associated with being a part of a company 2) All hierarchical decisions (promoting / not promoting) can be done without much personal interaction so turns employees more into school children where grades on certain things determine moving up or not 3) Easier to fire folks if you don’t get as close to them and if they’re not right there in front of you Not advantageous for small/mid-size companies with strong cultures. Advantageous for small/mid-size co’s with weak cultures. Large companies obviously benefit, surprised more don’t go remote.
