It can be difficult to explain complex ideas. The lack of face-to-face interaction limits social cues, which may lead to misunderstandings and conflict.
Remote workers should be working in harmony, but people often don't know what others are doing and how everything fits together.
Today, remote and flexible work arrangements are seen as a perk.
