There is, but remote-first companies have learnt the skills to communicate this effectively without requiring members to be face-to-face or require hours of meetings.

That's what I see causes the biggest push-back against WFH: upper management who don't know how to communicate without being in-person, so they assume WFH is bad.

Funny enough, those of us who had to deal with international teams or offshoring had to develop those skills even before remote-first companies were a thing.

I remember some of my colleagues were working in an office doing WebEx or whatever it was calls all day already back in the early 2010s.
