Remote work has been a game-changer for my productivity, but I'm starting to think it's silently killing career growth for junior employees. Over the past year, I watched three new hires struggle for months on tasks that would've taken days in an office, simply because they couldn't overhear the casual problem-solving that happens around whiteboards. We've replaced mentorship with scheduled Zoom calls, and it's not the same. Can we really call it progress when the people who need the most guidance are getting the least?
