Although I've had the same observation, I've been observing it long before I started working remotely: I'd drive 30-45 minutes into an office and then spend the day emailing or IM-ing people in different cities, countries and continents. It's been over 20 years since even most of the people I interacted with on a daily basis were anywhere near the same physical location as I was.

- jofer 4y agoYeah, it's not limited to remote specifically, for sure. I had the same experience in an office setting when working as an internal consultant at a big corporation. I'd often be helping teams on the other side of the globe on short-lived projects. When you don't ever meet the people you're working with face to face, it's just easier to misinterpret what people say.
