This is reminiscent of my suspicions about hybrid on-site/remote working environments: unless a critical mass is remote, those employees are generally at a serious disadvantage. Left out of impromptu face to face conversations, etc.
One of the few benefits of giant faceless corporations is most of my direct coworkers were 1000 miles apart anyway under normal conditions, so an extra 20 miles away sitting in his house never mattered vs sitting in an office.
