Those are mostly first-timers with remote. If they've tried that they know that the only way for it to save money is to throw a boatload of management at it and in the end it costs the same or more. People who can reliably work remotely are worth attracting because there are many more of them than there are good employees in your local commute range.



Main problem is micromanaging time instead of targets and milestones. No trust, remotely? Fine, just don't fake it.
