There is that, but, and I am saying this as an ardent remote supporter, in person appears to have an edge over remote in terms of training ( there are definitely things I would not put in official training materials or even in recorded zoom/teams/we call ). I recently joined a new team and even with previous experience of how things actually work, it was an adjustment how this new ( to me ) corporate structure really operates. It is the little things that can surprise a complete newbie. In person advice can be invaluable.

- comfypotato 4y agoI think this comes down to the newbie taking initiative to seek help. In person, it’s easier for others to help a newbie that doesn’t know when to seek help (they can “see” them struggling). As long as the struggling new person seeks help, remote work is superior for the actual help to be administered. Screen sharing, meeting time synchronization, etc. all make it easier to help someone remotely.
