Maybe there is a balance? We don't have to be 100% either. We do need to build human trust and relationships, and you can't do that with remote easily. Also, communications are slower and full of paper cuts that will make any task requiring to gather a lot from different people harder with remote. Those 2 things make onboarding much harder. Young people are also the one that are paying the most cost from remote: - they are the ones with the less autonomy, which makes remote either very unproductive or make the task super hard. - they don't learn anything about politics, which remote hides from view, and maybe reduces a little, but doesn't remove. - they are already deep in the culture distractions, which is incredibly tempting in remote. How course, remote work has so many benefits it may very well offset all that. Time will tell I guess.
