Remote doesn't mean isolated. PMs can and should do their job regardless of whether people are remote or not.

It's probably time to call it virtual-first, rather than remote-first, cause remote makes people think isolated.

> cause remote makes people think isolated

Which, of course, it is.

Isolated: "separated from other persons or things; alone; solitary" [0], "separate from others" [1].

Remote: "far apart; far distant in space; situated at some distance away" [0], "separated by an interval or space greater than usual" [1].
