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've been remote as a solopreneur for over a decade. I have been building my company for the last 3 years and am hiring exclusively remote. I see no reason to pay for an office, and would rather source world-wide talent. We have team members in US/CAN/UK and in India, Phillippens, and Indonesia. Some company models require in-person working. Mine does not.

Have you found difficulty in complying with tax laws when hiring outside the US?

Nope. My CPA/accounting team takes care of it all.
