If you have an office with enough room for all your employees, there’s no benefit to allowing remote work and only cost. The cost is more pronounced in certain roles but it’s essentially self evident: it’s easier to skate off when you’re out of sight and out of mind, and you know you’re getting what you pay for when your employees are in the office, vs when they are not you don’t know. Oh, you’re more efficient at home and don’t waste time commuting? As the boss I don’t really care, because I only care about the metrics that drive my business to grow. It would be irresponsible to operate differently and likely cost people their jobs.
It’s mind numbingly simple. Imagine you’re a ceo.
