I think he has a point. So many great ideas at my company were birthed sitting around the table while eating breakfast or drinking coffee.
People ask me stuff they they wouldn't have sent a ticket about because "it's not a big issue" and by looking into some of it we find way better methods of dealing with types of workflows.
It's not the meetings where we find the best ideas. It's during the coffee breaks. But you need you coworkers to have coffee breaks with so you have something to talk about.
That being said. I'm not American and we don't have the American office landscapes or office politics.
I have tons of spontaneous calls all day on teams when remote. These moments still happen and don't require an office. These companies that fail to adapt will be left in the dust.
