I'm not so sure they need to given that over 50% of Americans live completely paycheck to paycheck

No. They rat on me when I leave the office early to work from home after showing up for reasons I'm still unclear on after nearly a year now. So they can speak up on their own thing

Show it, the studies have shown that workers are more productive when remote. Evidence would help make things easier to stomach with this insane RTO push. Covid is still kicking around, and the dramatic return to commutes is damaging to our planet.

Coordination comes from competent leadership regardless of location. Any company larger than 10 people needs some way to handle coordination. Async coordination is really under trained and under utilized as a result but works really well with remote workers. You can't async everything tho so synchronous coordination happens the same way remotely as it does in person, with a meeting and sequential execution. This is basic stuff for people who work with logic often like programmers who have had remote work opportunities for decades now.

Mentoring, you're worried about that when most companies won't pay for training or provide time or bandwidth for mentorship. Assuming leadership is onboard with the actual costs and output reductions that come with mentorship, you collaborate mostly the same way IRL as you do remotely: by looking at a screen together. Which is far easier over zoom / teams. Or you ask questions in a call or through chat.

We really ought to make jobs that can be remote have to justify undue hardship to RTO too.

I mean. Americans have shown they'll work off hours, that's not the issue. It's generally that it's expected to be compensated well and to make up the hour deficit elsewhere in the week if that happens

You could use proton cloud storage to do 90% of the same thing you just would have to have local editors installed

Yeah but then I have to call them
