If you're an employer: Why have you never considered going remote (that is if your team can work remotely)? (alien.top)

Please, I'm just genuinely curious.

But I'll like to help anyone wanting to answer by categorizing the reasons into like 4: You can choose any, or come up with your own reasons.

You believe remote work is just a trend, and will die soon
You think it's just a bubble waiting to burst
You think remote work will never be successful
You believe remote work is still in its infancy/ (it's early) and you don't want to jump on the train just yet
You're just uncertain about the whole remote work thing

I'm thinking of using your reasons to work on a bigger content (ebook) for my long piece here.

I'm in the service business, and for the majority of opinions in the company, remote work is not possible (need to physically meet clients, etc). For those positions that can be done remotely , almost all of them are performed remotely, and the majority of them people are working from abroad/different countries).

But remote work definitely requires a lot more self-organization and self- reliance from employees, and not all employees have these skills. Organizing and controlling people is a lot easier when they are all in the same room and that room is an actual place of work and not a bedroom or kitchen next to a beach somewhere 1000 miles away.

Can even say from my personal experience - it's easier to get more work done when you're in a work environment surrounded by people who work on the same/similar tasks.
