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.

Maybe the problem isn’t WFH/WFO but rather that the whole employment model is not a right fit for today. People should be more like contractors than employees and be more invested in their own success

I have seen the contractor model somewhere, with the argument that companies don't waste their time laying off employees once something goes wrong, so why should employees dedicate so much like they're a family when the companies don't see them that way. While this is not probably every company, I can understand this argument too.
