Unless you hire and manage people working remotely it’s difficult for you to speak as an employee.
Sorry. I've hired several remote employees over the past 2.5 years. We now have teams comprised of individuals from all over the country - something that was simply impossible working in an office building. I have the stats showing our productivity has soared. My company is now hiring execs (VP-level folks) from all around the country. The WFH culture has been fully adopted, and quite successfully at that. Oh, and my company is a Fortune 200 blue chip that's over 115 years old...

I hire and manage people who work remotely. We've never been a stronger team.
Maybe remote isn't the problem, maybe you are?
Building the culture and systems to support remote takes effort and belief that it will succeed.
That's a lot of assumptions there about me, and what I do without answering the question.
Can you share what method you used to determine this? Has productivity dropped in a measurable way or is it something like the duration between when you send a Slack message and when they respond?
