This article presumes that trust is the only reason that employers don't allow or support remote work. It's also assumes that the individual's peak productivity is the most important thing.

However, neither are necessarily true - I actually really enjoy a team dynamic. A team working well together can lead to amazing leaps in productively. And it's very hard to replicate that remotely.

Building remote teams is extremely hard and takes a lot of investment. If you look at the companies that do it well, it's almost a cultural obsession.
