    Sounds like a skill issue. The company I was working for at the time had been fully remote since its founding and we were totally used to zoom meetings. We barely skipped a beat when COVID hit.

      small company, so lack of advanced IT was a small part, but there’s just no substitute to actually walking through a project site with a contractor/customer.

        Ah, yeah, that sort of thing kinda needs to be in person. I was selling software so the demo was on a screen anyway so it didn’t matter if the screen was in the same room.

        Too bad the metaverse sucks so much because that would be perfect for your use case.

          Oh yeah, there are certainly some positions where WFH is appropriate. My wife was in software development with a WFH job prior to covid and through it. Covid actually drove her to find a new job with a hybrid policy so she can do whatever she wants.
