    Do you know why they don’t like remote work? Eventually, you can remotely work for another country that pays more.

      They don’t like remote work because it means they’re wasting money on office space. Rather than fix that problem they want to fill the unnecessary space and pretend there’s no problem.

        Yep, my prev. CEO capped working from home to 1 day a week and treated it like we were requesting a holiday.

        “I have such a nice office and then nobody shows up, you know how much that hurts?”

        Man, how far removed from reality can you be?

        It also means they’re wasting money on middle management more often than not. Which scares middle management.

      Or even just remotely work for other employers in the same country. For example, Dallas employers don’t want compete with Silicon Valley employer salaries.
