> everyone being remote is really bad for younger/newer employees who completely miss out on networking, mentorship, company culture, etc. I've personally found mentorship is much easier remote since you can more easily dedicate your entire focus on a person rather than just catching up real quick before meetings. I had a team member who was really struggling with isolation. Mentioned it to me briefly in chat and I had him give me a call. That turned into regular bi-weekly meetings where we chat about work issues and whatever topics are interesting to us. It's helped us both tremendously. The only reason for anyone to suffer remotely is deliberate ignorance by senior member of the team. And because of the more private nature of remote communication, I've found colleagues are much more willing to open up about concerns and frustrations they have about the office. Sure remote means that if you're a senior member of the team and want to abandon your responsibilities it's easier to hide, but some of my best working relationships have been founded remotely.
