"forming relationships with colleagues and managers will become more important." Sounds like your think getting ahead is a just a bunch of ass kissing. At least in software companies, almost everything of value is stored, code, project plans, goals, product requirements, software designs, all the scrums ceremony stuff. If manager A is great at communicating with her colleagues and managers but missing their commitments, then they are out. If the senior engineers are producing crappy designs, then they will be out. If the regular engineers velocity is really low, they are out. I don't see how being in an office vs WFH makes any difference. Please be more specific.
