4. Culture Can Exist Without Coffee Machines

The biggest argument for the office used to be “collaboration.” But culture doesn’t live in hallways—it lives in trust, communication, and shared purpose. Teams that thrive remotely do it through intentional connection, not forced proximity. The best workplaces aren’t places at all—they’re systems that make people feel seen, even from afar.

The fear was that remote work would make us isolated. The reality? It made us intentional. Colleagues meet on purpose now, not just by accident. Flexibility gives us the space to design our own boundaries—to choose when to be “on” and when to be human. That’s not laziness; that’s evolution.
