> teams are often made up of people from different locations anyway

My wife works at a multinational which has also decided to push RTO. Her closest team member works in an office 200 miles away from her office (in a different country), the vast majority of the rest of team are located between 3000 and 6000 miles away, on a different continent.

A friend of mine at AMZN has the same issue, his team is literally scattered around the globe.
