If that's true, then offshoring, or even satellite offices, are a hindrance to "proper" working relationships. I think it's very striking that the same corporations who didn't blink an eye at geographically distributing teams of people (so long as they were each physically located in an office that wasn't their home) are suddenly clutching their pearls at full remote work.
- saimiam 5y agoBut the point of “soft” work is for physical proximity to encourage bonding. Having offices in different cities creates hubs of people who like each other because loosely, they’ve become friends due to daily exposure to each other. This is not possible/harder to achieve in remote-only setups. At least that’s how I read the article. This, therefore means that outsourcing and remote offices aren’t antithetical to what the return-to-office crew wants to achieve.
