My mileage does vary - in my experience, I often wonder what non-remote people are even doing. Remote is blowing them out of the water. I think on-prem workers tend to chit chat more, go to lunch, come in a bit late, leave a bit early, do happy hours, and generally socialize a lot more (not to mention commutes!). I see largely the opposite as you, with remote workers doing the bulk of the work.

On prem might get the bulk of the credit though - politics are ... evolving with remote workers.

But your experience doesn't match mine at all.
