Hard disagree on this take.

Working remote allows me to finish my thoughts, finish the task at hand or just take a breather when I need to. I think that’s the same for those who prefer remote work.

Async communication is far better for a team that needs to get through a never shrinking pile of work.

Remote work isn’t for everyone. It’s a preference, with zero impact on productivity or efficiency for those that prefer it.

I will admit one major downside. It’s easier to move one’s career forward, especially in management if you’re able to chat with higher level decision-makers as-hoc and in person. For those that thrive off of connections to climb the ladder, remote is a much harder climb.
