Remote work also means companies can get the best people for that company anywhere.
Remote work means life changes can happen and you can retain the best people for that company. With jobs and life, changes happen, people move, have families, want to be close to family, want to change scenery, get a new significant other, go to school, buy a house, all of these things can mean you might have to quit if you have to physically always be in the office.
Even when companies have remote/different city offices, virtual communication is very important anyways.
Clients and customers are almost always remote with some sprinkled in meetings but mostly virtual communication and communication through the work.
Companies would be wise to switch to remote first thinking and processes with a focus on virtual communication and a nice to have of physical meetups, integration sessions etc.
Remote work helps companies focus on their external view not just their internal machinations.
For truly unique talents and workers, location has never really mattered.
