It's true though, and there's no technological improvement to communication software that can ever change this.
If you sit physically next to your colleagues, you can at all times see what they are working on, talking to each other about, etc., and thereby learn more about the project and the company; if you work remotely and have to explicitly choose to communicate, you miss out on all of that.
Do you actually do work or are you one of those middle-men that add dubious value?
And, like, do you think I can read my coworker's screen from across the room and be like "Ah yes, that is
TransferProjectView.py. I should tell him that I am also planning on touching that file"?And adults can learn to explicitly communicate. It's not impossible. You just type into the box.
