This site recently scrolled by in my TL about remote work: https://www.remoteonly.org/

I’ve been a remote executive managing a remote team with people all over the world for about 10 years now. Some things in that post are accurate, but many are not what happens in practice. A good example is the benefit from fewer interruptions... I’ve found that to be almost 180 degrees wrong. Interruptions, I’ve found, are far more frequent in remote work settings.

@jerry It depends on what you compare to. If the company offers private offices and the company culture discourages walking over for trivial questions - at home you will likely get more interruptions. I used to work for a company that put 50+ people in a single office and encouraged "direct communication." Needless to say, the days where I didn't work remotely were completely wasted.
