Discussion on: Facebook and more big tech companies are going to lean into distributed work. What is going to suck about this?

There will be phases:

1. Companies and teams trying to replicate in-office interactions and behaviors virtually, which will inevitably fail.
2. Overusing/misusing virtual meeting tools, which will end up just wasting a lot of peoples' time
3. Middle and traditional micromanagers will lose their minds and put alerts on their team the moment they move their mouse
4. Teams will retool, adapt over time, but it will be painful for many for the first year at least.
