> I still have no idea where it comes from

A not so small group of people being over-employed or never available or just not pulling their weight tainted the whole thing.

Also honestly once a % of us were back in the office having to talk to remote people over a video call and waiting for the lag and having them speak over you because of the lag or get confused because they can't hear the chat we can all hear in the room builds animosity towards them.

Can probably list 2 people I'm happy to work with remote but the number I worked with who took the piss with it is in the double digits.
