Their problem is not that they can’t manage remote work. It’s that remote work is so effective that they don’t need the buildings that they have invested too much money in.
@cosmicrookie@morry040 It’s also telling how many of these same managers have never had any problems with outsourcing their manufacturing roles overseas.
Or outsourcing contact centres to India.
Or outsourcing business processes to Manila.
