Small companies are, indeed, small.


You’re missing the point: small remote = flying to meet everyone. Small with office attendance = no need to fly to meet.


I've never worked at a small remote only company that regularly flew the whole company anywhere. I've worked at one company with 75 employees or so that flew 5-10 remote engineers up to NYC to meet with the rest of the company who lived within driving distance (though they were all remote).

I doubt there are all that many people meeting the following conditions: work for small companies with one office, live far enough away from that office to need to fly, work for a company with enough extra money sitting around to fly everyone out, work for a company that wants to fly everyone out, are willing to fly out. I really doubt there are enough to have much impact on carbon emissions.


Only if it’s globally remote. There are plenty of small companies where people work from home, but nevertheless all live in close proximity
