Arguing over whether remote or in-person is better when your company is systemically bad at communicating is like arguing which color to paint a turd: no color of paint is going to make it less a turd.

On the other side of things: a team with good communication skills will communicate effectively either in-person or remotely.

I'm calling out the dumb logic of the article, not arguing against remote work. I think remote work is bad for productivity generally, but it's a small problem. Personally I prefer the flexibility that working remotely allows.
