My company is doing just fine having most communication online. In fact we save time not having to walk 15 mins across campus to get to a conference room. Sounds like you want to micromanage? Metrics measure only output anyway and higher ups only see that.

I'm in a hardware rich business. It really helps to have the hardware in hand to physically try something before telling a customer it can be done.

I'm in manufacturing, it really helps to have the physical parts to put them together, I couldn't work from home unless they shipped me parts and I ship back completes.

Doesn't mean every job is like mine, some of the ladies in our office 100% could work from home.

I'm also in manufacturing, but all our logistics and planning meetings are online. Doesn't make sense to meet in person. Those 15 mins of walking could be spent doing something else and not waiting for people to arrive. Only necessary meetings are on the floor.
