Commuters wait for a train
Young workers who don't make the trek into the office risk missing out on valuable feedback from colleagues, according to a group of economists.
  • For young workers, not being in an office can mean they don't get as much feedback from colleagues.
  • A working paper called "The Power of Proximity" says it's hard to replicate feedback from afar.
  • The report comes as more companies are calling workers back to the office.

Of all the things remote workers miss out on — punishing commutes, office coffee, and even fancy catering — one of the things that's not as visible might be the most important: feedback.
