"a decrease in synchronous communication and an increase in asynchronous communication."
Lol, aka less meetings/broadcast missives, and more actual conversations?
There are so many factors and variables at play that I'm not sure there will be a definitive "answer" whether remote is better or worse. I think it strongly depends on the team, the company the industry, etc.
My experience is that remote done well, where everyone is enthusiastic, etc, is even better than in-office.
But for some jobs/companies it seems the in-office bullying is an important part of "motivation".
- SpicyLemonZest 5y agoNo, that’s not a fair AKA at all. I’ve seen multiple million dollar projects get built from the ground up, and they all required large amounts of synchronous communication to get started that wouldn’t have been feasible in an all-remote world. I want to emphasize that I’m not saying this out of any personal attachment - I absolutely prefer to work remotely and I hope that going into the office 5 days every week stays obsolete. But companies (and employees) that go all-remote are going to face a real price in innovativeness for doing so.
