#2Employees are fed up with managers who exist only to justify their existence as well.

#3This again. If this was truly the case, then they would put an immediate stop to the offshoring / nearshoring that has been rampant in the industry for the last 20 years.
Not a single push back against the H1B/Offshoring happening in the US. Keep it up corporate america... you going to have your next competiton being created by you from those remote workers banding together.

#4Can they not solve this problem? This shows the lack of creative problem solving that is widespread across companies. They've known only one way to work and they're convinced it's the only way, when in theory there is probably multiple ways of achieving the same amount of productivity, and it's probably just a shift in work ethic and culture. This is of course assuming the work can be done remotely, like any job that has digital deliverables and meetings can be done online. All the pieces of the puzzles are there.

Absolutely. Something is different between the very-very-remote worker and the remote worker and the news will do anything to keep from making that comparison.

Or against satellite offices. I drive 30 minutes into the office twice a week per corporate standards... and spend the whole day on zoom calls with co-workers in other offices in different cities.

#9I just had to fire a remote worker for egregious and persistent timecard fraud. I was all about remote worker before that happened.

Money talks. If I'm paying $150k for a US-based engineer and I'm getting poor output as a result of them working remotely, the downside is considerable and I have a strong incentive to improve their output, especially since I can, assuming they are located near an office. If I'm paying $40k for an off/near-shore engineer, the financial downside is lower, and besides what can I really do about it since they don't live near an office?
All caveats apply, of course. It kinda depends on how bad it is with each worker.
Worth mentioning, by the way, that many professional off/near-shoring agencies have offices that the workers can work from -- often a necessity if home internet is not available or stable in their countries. So while these workers remain remote to YOU, they're presumably getting the benefit of being without the distraction of home, and the opportunity to collaborate and build relationships with colleagues in-person.
