I have worked remotely for 10 years in smaller companies before going to a large FAANG and working in office for 10 years, then remotely since 2020. Working remotely for the smaller companies and startups was much faster faced and productive. Part of it is due to company size and not remote vs. non-remote. We met regularly (once a month or so) to set direction, we executed at 2x - 3x the speed than at a larger company. The FAANG company never embraced remote work fully. 2 years after I started remote, HR still messes up counting local holidays. Newly hired remote workers were promised they could travel for 2 weeks per year to meet face to face with their team. In my experience, it did not happen. Travel was severely restricted and new team members were not allowed to travel. Now, leaders are complaining that remote worker productivity is lower than hybrid workers because of face to face interactions after they sabotaged remote workers and failed to deliver on the exact promises that would have solved this problem. This sly behavior is unacceptable.
