Most large enough orgs have teams distributed between offices. I routinely work with people in New York, multiple locations (far enough to not be able to walk over for a meeting) in SF Bay Area and Seattle. When everyone is in their assigned office location we are still on video conference. SF office is close to an hour away from Mountain View for example. The alignment is just fine and things get done. Whether a given person is in the specific room or not makes little difference, but whether the rooms are truly engaged does. I’ve been in plenty of in person meetings where laptops open and attention goes elsewhere.
