That is the exact assertion for exactly the same reasons. Remote work may work for you (much like chatting) but you are giving up a lot of communication richness in the process.

Working from home has very real trade offs that may work for you and your team, but it is no substitute for working and especially meeting in person. It primarily impacts communication efficacy, which for many larger teams is already the limiting factor.

The friend clique loyalty stuff that body language communicates at work is bad for the company and anyone who doesn't win it. In contrast it's the core of social life. That "communication efficacy" is something that work would be better and fairer without and humans can't exist without... I feel very sorry for anyone who due to their long hours or bad home situation cannot separate them but I don't want to suffer because of that.

Yeah, communication is so much better with Dale's after lunch Cheeto breath to go with your stand-up meeting before going back to your soulless cubicle. /s

You're describing the way normies work, and that's greta but not everyone is NT.

I was not aware that good work stopped being done for about 2 years during COVID when most people were remote. I learn something new everyday on HN.
