Frontend developer by day, iOS developer by night. Currently working on learning iOS development and my own blog, Mike Decodes, where I'm decoding the tech industry. Come hang out with me on Twitter!
Myth #10 is key! Currently we're working remotely because we're forced to. To make things worse, we can't really go outside or change up our scenery. This makes things incredibly difficult because you then take a mental hit.
The fact working remotely doesn't work as well during the pandemic doesn't mean it won't work at all. In fact, I'd argue it works so much better than going to the office. Don't get me wrong, I still see value in going to the office, but I think 90% of our job can be done remotely. Heck, even during the pandemic I'm still miles more productive than I would be at the office.

You are absolutely right Mike! We are also expecting leadership to lead a remote working team without any training or experience.
If they can survive this then imagine how much more productive and efficient they can be as a company once they identify and iron out those kinks!
Working remotely is an attractive benefit to be able to offer employees. Hopefully they can use this as a learning experience as well.
