Agree. It's interesting to compare the remote worker debate with the open office configuration debate- they seem like different degrees of the same problem.

I find it interesting that I myself am all for remote workers, but have had nothing but horrible experiences with workplaces where everyone has their own office. Pondering this a bit I think it's because every workplace I've been in with individual offices (Microsoft and others) also seemed to be very old school in terms of communication software.

Could you please elaborate a bit on what sorts of horrible experiences you had with the individual offices arrangement? How frequent were your team meetings? Did you guys use Slack-style chat softwares?
