This sounds like something that has happened in your experience, but I&#x27;ve never heard of this phenomenon before.  Do you have any articles or studies that talk about this as a trend or normal occurance?<p>Counterpoint: the remote workers I&#x27;ve worked with don&#x27;t do any of the things you mentioned.<p>I personally think that colocation is the preferred way to perform work.  Remote development environments require a conscious attention to the tools, practices, and culture.  It is far simpler from a management perspective to be colocated.
