This is an absolutely horrendous claim. Every person is different, there is absolutely no replacement for face to face talk for me and my current co-workers. I need it, if my company decides it'll be replaced with written-only communication, I'll leave them in a second. Seeing people's facial expressions, hearing their tone, understanding how they react to spontaneous questions, what frustrates them, what things they feel confident about, what things they're puzzled about... There is no easy way to express these via text. Please understand that I have no problem with remote work; I'm only responding to your implication that face to face meetings are "waste of time".
