I agree. I've been working and managing a small group for several years working remotely. It takes about 6-12 months before someone fully adjusts to working remotely. Communication between each other isn't a challenge as we meet every morning.

PMs will sometimes come and complain that a team member has gone dark. I just tell them, have daily meetings if you're worried about keeping up productivity of the team.

Have worked remotely 18 out of the last 20 years. The interruptions +remote, but the structure of being in an office +onsite. I'm not sure people can make blanket statements which is more productive I feel it varies by person.
