Agreed. Making remote work well requires just about everyone to be firing on all cylinders: you, your team, and especially your manager.

And side note: The common wisdom about don't be the only remote person on a team is true. I've done it, and it absolutely sucks.

If you're the only remote person, you're excluded from everything and there's probably no Slack or equivalent group discussion. I'm doing partially remote and I use that time to get done with some things that need more focus, but if I was fully remote I'd have big issues getting all the information I need.

I am the only remote person at my work. Sometimes I feel there's too much going on on Slack at the same time, and I haven't had any issues getting the information I need in a long time. There's always exceptions. Even though we've hit a few bumps in the road before we got to where we are now, I think it can work even for a 'traditional' company like ours (as long as you obsess about procedures and keeping things documented and in writing, which we've always done).
