Remote work is quietly killing office culture, and I don't think that's a bad thing. After two years of working from home in a marketing agency, I've seen collaboration shift from forced small talk to intentional meetings, and honestly, the quality of our projects improved. But my manager insists we lose spontaneous problem-solving and mentorship, which no Zoom call can replace. Maybe the real issue is that office culture was never about productivity—it was about control, and losing that control makes some leaders uncomfortable.
