My entire department is remote and always have been, we have been perfectly fine. We meet up once a year and do teams meetings daily.
Help me understand why remote work is a detriment?

It is only a preference for office space owners, shyt politicians and nearby restaurants. It sucks for those restaurants that get hit by it but i am not about to sacrifice my time and freedom so you can keep selling overpriced food. The companies that own the office space i cant give a shyt about them at all.
5 years and counting for me it's the goat

Why is it automatically overpriced food? No one sells food at an appropriate price point near work settings?
Think of the big picture the healthier the economy the likely healthier your company/organization is meaning your job is more secure.

I work a hybrid position and only have to maybe go to the office 2-3 times a month. Im blessed that I do not have to drive in this trash ass atlanta traffic from gwinnett to windy hill(braves stadium exit) all the damn time.

who cares. my job was so happy about us working remote, they cancelled the lease on the entire building we were using for offices and were ecstatic with the savings from that alone.
I like NOT paying for gas, NOT paying for tolls, NOT paying for lunch, NOT wasting my time in traffic, NOT paying for dry cleaning, NOT having to buy work clothes. all that other shyt was a waste of money.

What are you talking about? All the shyt you are talking about can be done remotely. I can't name all of the bullshyt meetings or "collaborations" i had to deal with in person that could of been handled remotely. Not even going to bring up having to fly to a site to get into a conference room to "communicate" when we could of done it from a Zoom or Teams call.
The exaggeration and backwards thinking of how remote work is damaging social interactions is nuts. If you can not do what you can do in a conference room remotely, that is a company issue and not a remote work issue. What is gained by waking up early, driving through traffic, sitting around all day until you get in a room with a bunch of other people so you can say in person what you could of done online?
I see this type of thought process mainly from the lonely and the old. Every time i would hear a complaint about remote work from my last job it would be from people that only interacted with others at work and those that were "old school". The crazy thing is that those people were in the extreme minority. My managers loved it, one of them even used it to move back home. People regardless of job title in my department loved it because that meant they had more time with their families and were saving money not commuting, More time to actually travel and get other shyt done, etc...
And as far as the "well if you are remote they can outsource you" talk, where in the fukk have you been the last decade in a half? I don't know what you do, but i am in IT and we have been getting on site outsourced forever and it is the same for bunch of other industries. They have been H1-B'ing it up for the longest, so why do you think all of a sudden they are going to start doing it like they have not already?
Even when i was onsite i was working with people remotely in India, so this fearmongering shyt has to stop.
Why in the fukk would a company that i work for that leases office space be hurt by having to lease LESS space? Not only less space but all the other costs with running an office? How is people commuting paying tolls/pub transit, buying lunch or coffee nearby and wasting space in an office economically better for the company?

It can be isolating to some especially if you’re working long hours or starting a new job. Some people just work better in an office atmosphere where they have people to bounce off ideas from.
I went from a fully remote to a hybrid model and I’m a much better employee because of it
Trust this guy to advocate for return-to-office
I’ve actually been very vocal in threads over the years with my experience doing the fully remote option and why it was one of the main reasons why I left my previous job.Trust this guy to advocate for return-to-office
This isn’t nothing new
