Right now… COVID travel restrictions meaning we cannot do face to face events.

I'd say lack of leadership knowing how to properly manage/engage a remote team. Much Zoom happy hour fluff, little productive remote engagement.

If you don't have the same virtual meeting etiquette, this can be a real blocker. E.g. people with video off, others with it on, you need similar ways that you will work virtually that foster belonging and connection.

I find the remote developers create their own backchannel talk and like to blame all issues on the users.  When they are in the office, we hear these conversations and can put a stop to them.  If the users are using the system incorrectly, then the development teams needs to make the system easier to use so the users use it properly
