22 of the last 25 years...
I have been a remote worker for 22 of the last 25 years.
Sun Micro taught me the ropes -- I remember thinking as I left : "I never want to work for a company again".
But I cooled it after 13 years; I only work remotely, and prefer not having to dig up clients.
The crux is that if you are working remotely, it is entirely transactional.
You aren't going to lunches, beer blasts, or humiliatingly cringe-worthy 'organized fun'.
You get a pay-cheque for work done, and if the gig ends, you fedex your gear back.
At my previous gig, my office access had expired, so when I went to drop off my gear, I couldn't get in.
I fedex'd it from across the street.
Sweet memories.
