I respectfully disagree.

Many larger companies already are coordinating across multiple locations and timezones. One of the teams I work with has people on Eastern US time (though not all in the same office even before this) and Europe.

Another group is in two geographically separated offices in Eastern Time.

And other groups are just scattered all over.

Just going to guess that whichever location the team has the most people and wherever manager works from become the places where big decisions are made and promotions come from.

I've worked remote when the rest of the team is in an office, and it's definitely not for all positions/teams.

I agree that situations where N-1 of the team is physically located in an office and one person isn't tend to be difficult. But we're mostly now often talking about significant distribution/WFH.

The groups I'm involved with were already distributed with not much in terms of a "home base."
