It's easy to make fun of executives but in my experience this is absolutely true. I've now had 3 remote jobs, 2 were in office and then transitioned remote. The culture is not good at any of the jobs, with the 2 that transitioned becoming obviously much worse a year or so after the transition. Is it possible to keep your culture in a full remote environment? Yes of course, but in my experience it requires leadership that most companies do not have. Forcing everyone back to the office is much easier for most companies than firing leadership and replacing them with people who have experience scaling remote work while keeping a strong culture.
