Hiding what you really think because you management won't like what you have to say is the reason a bunch of problems go unchecked in almost every company I've ever been in.

People should be able to say what they think in any situation without the fear of reprisals.

But it doesn't work that way because management often can't take criticism and so you're left with back channels and politics to get things done.

This is a management problem and a culture problem not a problem with working from home or not.
