If you can't support remote workers then you're probably also failing your on-site employees in ways you don't realize
Useful mental model: You can think of on-site or new employees two weeks from now as remote. How are they going to know what decision you made today in that face-to-face meeting? How do they ask questions about it? How do they make changes to it?
two years from now when someone is asking why this thing exists and if we can remove it, who's going to know?
How do you convey the context for why a decision was made at a particular time? How do you find out if that's still true without a written record of why it happened in the first place?
Especially in tech, where so much of our software is created, maintained, documented, and thrives based on the work of people collaborating across different continents: Ask yourself why you can't make remote work and how the same issues affect your on-site employees.
