Ask HN: Remote work is dead inside big tech?

Every couple of months, I come across articles from different publications that sound the death bell for remote work inside big tech in the US and beyond. As someone who has been managing a startup of 40 -ish people remotely and following led a nomadic lifestyle for 2+ years now, there's no doubt in my mind that it can be just as practical or more effective than being inside of an office. In a FAANG-like company that hav a complex organizational structure and connections remote didn't seem to find much benefit, except that employees liked it. The biggest problem for remote work is if employers of FAANG-like companies force workers back into the office. When there's a majority of workers in the office, chat groups die down, and there is an "in" group and "out" group that forms, with the complications that arise from that. What do you think?
