Gaius,<p>Studies are mixed on the pros&#x2F;cons of office vs remote.  For example a Stanford study showed productivity increased 9 to 13% for remote office workers.  Some have shown that collaboration can increase as well as communication was more intentional (I don&#x27;t remember the study offhand).<p>Anyways, point is it&#x27;s not all or nothing and the data is still out on effectiveness and efficiency (I&#x27;d think it also depends on the nature of the work etc)
