Implying companies that embrace remote work are less collaborative?
- tuckerman 5y agoDepending on how the rest of the team prefers to work, they can be, in the same way that two in-person workers at a predominantly remote company could be less collaborative if they do most of their conversing/deciding in person instead of on Slack/Chat/Email/etc
- tick_tock_tick 5y agoYes, I feel confident saying by and large they are. I've noticed a massive drop of collaboration with our switch to remote during this time. Sure there will be exceptions, mostly from in person companies being very bad about it, but there are fundamental limits with remote that don't exist in person for collaboration.
- Wiseacre 5y agoThen the problem will solve itself won't it? The in-person companies should clearly out-compete the remote ones.
- rightbyte 5y ago"Natural selection" in companies is so noisy I don't think we will ever see a clear trend in this case. Covid showed that as a lower limit remote wont wreck companies atleast. I am convinced remote is a little bit better for the company (unless hardware/machine/industry centric) and alot better for many employees, especially in hard commute places.
