The CEO of a software company chimed in on the hot debate around remote work saying that while the practice benefits individuals, it hinders teamwork. 

Jake Wood – founder and CEO of corporate philanthropy business Groundswell – shared his thoughts in a LinkedIn post that was reported by Fortune. Wood pointed out that remote work especially harms junior employees and new hires. 

“I can understand the employee’s perspective, but I think it’s lacking something critical: it’s not just about you,” he wrote. “What do I mean by that? “YOU” might be able to execute your work on time and to standard in a remote environment. But what about your colleagues? Absent your presence, leadership, mentorship – can they thrive?”
