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.

  1. You believe remote work is just a trend, and will die soon
  2. You think it’s just a bubble waiting to burst
  3. You think remote work will never be successful
  4. You believe remote work is still in its infancy/ (it’s early) and you don’t want to jump on the train just yet
  5. 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.

    Fully remote is a horrible idea, like really, really bad. Sure, everyone thinks that fully remote is great because it is great for them. However, it really isn’t. Why? Simply because less work is done. I remember reading a study regarding remote work done back in about 2015. The finding was that when remote work was allowed, not fully remote, just some remote, there was less work that was done. In software development, there was source code checkins. Checkins fell off significantly on Fridays. Management decided that people were required to be back in the office more, more checkins happened, and more software updates were completed on time. Life feels much more transactional in a mobile environment. There is much less interaction. There is much less interaction. There is much less brain storming.

    Quite simply, I’m not a fan of full remote at all.
