Prior to remote, many companies got by without much thought about the onboarding process. Basically, they stuck a new person in an office and assumed it would work out. With remote, companies have to be deliberate in their process. I have found this to be a good thing.


This x1000. If you think that you're going to do exactly what you were doing before remote work and it's going to work you're going to have a bad time.

The way you work has to evolve and you need to put more effort in initially depending on the area.

That still doesn't work and never works. Right might have amplified it but no difference. In places without onboarding and training lots of people are still confused.
