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 but had an company that worked in an office for about 6 years. So this is from an employer / business owner:

    A couple of reasons why on-site might be better:

    • better team bonding / closer relationship
    • faster execution of ideas (especially for startups)
    • less distractions
    • better to guide new team members
    • there are some jobs that are not project based, so productivity is lower for remote.
    • poorer communication

    Yes, it’s down to management and better communication,

    But I need to put in way more effort to get more from the team versus (the whole job of a leader and manager)

    Especially if the team is inexperienced and never worked remotely before.

    It works for a company with an established systems. But less for a startup trying to figure things out and scale.
