There's plenty of citations available at a quick search. I've worked primarily remotely for north of 10-15 years and love it. But it isn't 100% effective or the best choice for every situation and continuously. Especially for people at the start of a career or position. Lots of meaningful mentoring and coaching that can't be measured or limited to text chat or video calls. As someone who mentors their fair share of juniors starting out in software and product development, meeting my mentees in person after mentoring them during the lock downs did not compare. Mostly, the smiles, the genuine happiness for the success and learning that has been happening, and most of all knowing there's openness to talk about what's next and a challenge to learn. The very starts of projects and startups can often be much cleaner and faster in person, until you don't need to be. I understand and also don't like commutes. There's also no shortage of people who report the value of getting out of the house and seeing things differently Beginners often onboard much easier in person, and quicker to be productive and feel like valued members of the team. Understanding and designing new things, for example is one. Discovery or design sprints can be another. There is a good amount of merit for hybrid work and teams for producing results faster that can create profitabilty quicker, and pay those raises quicker.
