Other downside: way more coffee breaks and private discussions.

  > way more coffee breaks That’s upside.

  That’s not a downside. That’s part of building and being a team. We’re human, not machines. If you hire the right people, they’ll know when to have a laugh and when to work their ass off.

    That very much depends on the person. It might be an upside for you but a downside for me.

    I love humans, just not all of them and I prefer separating my private life from my work life

  > and private discussions. I joined a company that went from in-person to remote and the number of private discussions and politics exploded. Something about going remote and exchanging faces for screen names was like pouring gasoline on the fire for company politics. The number of private Slack channels exploded and one group even moved to their own private (unofficial) Slack because they wanted a private space where other people couldn't accidentally be invited to their discussions. It was wild.
