Hi (R)emotes,

☕️ (R)emote Expresso is your weekly dose of creator insights on remote collaboration designed to fuel your day - Once a week in your inbox 💌

Hey Remote Rebels and Digital Daydreamers,

Remember 2020?

When remote work was either going to save civilization or end it?

Yeah. Turns out… it’s a little more complicated.

This week, we’re grabbing a double shot of perspective and busting some myths that still sneak into our Slack channels, LinkedIn posts, and late-night existential spirals.

Before we build the next era of work, we’ve got to drag a few outdated ideas into the sunlight - and lovingly set them on fire. 🔥

Here’s what we’re ready to leave behind (and what we’re building instead):

🚫 5 Remote Work Myths That Need to Go

☁️ Myth 1: Remote = Endless Freedom

Reality: Freedom comes with friction. Without boundaries, flexibility can turn into burnout faster than you can say “Zoom fatigue.”

We traded long commutes for never-ending workdays. Oops.

📶 Myth 2: Good Wi-Fi = Good Collaboration

Reality: Fast internet can’t fix slow decisions, missing context, or a group calendar that looks like a Jackson Pollock painting.

You can have all the bandwidth in the world - if your team isn’t aligned, it’s just chaos at the speed of light.

🎉 Myth 3: Remote Work Killed Office Culture

Reality: Bad birthday cake and mandatory happy hours weren’t culture. Belonging, trust, and shared purpose are. And they travel really well.

If your “culture” fit in a conference room, it was never built to last.

🧑‍🚀 Myth 4: Remote = Isolation

Reality: For many of us, remote life opened the door to deeper, more authentic connections - even across oceans. (Shoutout to the Slack meme threads and virtual coworking jams keeping us alive.)

Loneliness is real - but remote isn’t the villain. Poor design is.

🚀 Myth 5: Remote Was the Destination

Reality: Remote isn’t the prize.

It’s the platform.

What we build on it is what matters.

We didn’t “arrive” when we unplugged from the office. We’re still writing the map.
