I'm not typically a statistics hawk.

However your team having 2 members that are remote, then generalizing it to all remote workers is a bit of a leap.

Outside of that I do agree. New technologies that require a high degree of experimentation and discovery lend themselves to in person work.

It's really 6 - the ones in remote offices effectively serve as remote workers for the purposes of management effort & management style. One of them is a singleton anyway - he has a desk in the office that is local to him, but he's the only one on the team there, and I don't really care whether he comes in.

Also about half of the rest of the org is remote - folks that collaborate with my team, but who I don't have reporting-line responsibility over. So there's a good sampling across 30-50 people who I interact with as teammates as well.
