It&#x27;s only not the same quality if you&#x27;re the only one who is off-site. But consider the hypothetical case where there is no central office, and everyone&#x27;s working from home. Then you don&#x27;t have to deal with the problem of terrible conference room microphones, since everyone has their own headset. You don&#x27;t have to deal with not being able to see the whiteboard, because people use other collaboration tools.<p>As sibling commenters are saying, the terrible experience that off-site workers have today is because companies haven&#x27;t invested in the infrastructure to allow off-site workers to collaborate in the same way as workers in the office. Slack can replace the hallway conversations. Shared Google Docs can replace white-boards. Skype can replace meeting rooms. You just have to invest in the infrastructure, both physical and cultural to make it happen. And, as a side benefit, it&#x27;s a lot easier to record the outcomes of meetings with these new tools, which makes it much easier to go back and reference what people said.
