We're nearing a tipping point with all-remote. Instead of remote teams having to justify why they do it, it's going to be colocated companies having to justify why they don't. https://about.gitlab.com/blog/2020/03/06/resources-for-companies-embracing-remote-work /

Working remotely or distributed forces an organization to do a few things different: 1. You can’t expect people to work at a particular time, given people are likely to be in a different timezone. Working asynchronously is necessary to function. 2. Information can’t only exist in the heads of people: the person you need might be asleep! You have to write everything down. https://www.jobvandervoort.com/blog/next/
