This is the main thing I've noticed - the people who talk about how there is something lost in how work gets done haven't changed how work gets done.

You can't just move to being remote without rethinking how you do everything. People were forced to be remote with COVID, but corporate essentially just tried to port the way things were done to remote, and on realizing it didn't work as well, want to move back.

A few places are doing things correctly and building specifically for remote work.

I honestly believe this is why we have such stark disparity in studies.
