  1. From the point of view of corporate executives, North Korea is a good guy helping them find any excuse they can to eliminate remote work.

  2. Easily solved by an in-person onboarding day and 1 day in person quarterly meets.

    You can use a convention center for this, doesn’t even need to be an office the company owns or leased full time.

    It’s what I did for my small fully remote company back in 2015 to COVID.
