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.
Well, five is unnecessary – the result of one-through-four. Four is definitely my thing – and I have worked remotely with a team.
The tools aren’t there for management. Just the hype. Not one little feature addresses anything in the news since The Great Resignation took hold – let alone solves the notorious ‘problem’ all startups claim they understand so well.
Management is difficult in person. Nobody wants to admit any of the challenges at arm’s length. And you know what, typical to wantrepreneurship not one damn body gives a shit.
Everybody has a solution. They just can’t understand any problem. And all say “artificial intelligence” like that subject hasn’t had the worst track record of pragmatic results for fifty years.
