So, not really remote. More like a "work from home" style.

A good remote culture allows someone in any timezone to be part of it or it loses the greatest advantage of remote working.

If working together is the only social activity the person has, he's not cut out for remote work.

Work from home, but primarily accountable to teams in other timezones. The regional teams coordinate their own in-person activities.

Culturally, the concept of remote work is not well understood in countries like the Philippines and India. The occasional social "meeting" is more to convince their family members they have a "real job" with physical place of business.

I would think skeptical families would be convinced by the (hopefully) fat checks in the mail.
