    I'm kind of divided on that?

    Would they do less damage if they weren't there?

          Will Saskfarmer give up his long Florida vacations and cocktail recipes if he has to return to the office full time?

          He seems to be able to keep managing the empire from 3000 miles away just fine.

          One of the trucking company owners I know lives in Mazatlan during the winter and does dispatch from there. All you need is internet and you can work from anywhere.

            The owner of the company is responsible for its success. The buck stops with him. Who does the oversight of remotely working bureaucrats? Governments have proven over time to be notoriously poor money managers and slow in getting work done. Why would anyone think that remote unsupervised work would improve this result?

              So you cant remotely supervise workers and ask for all their work they have done? Of course you can!

              Most of their communication is by email and zoom in any case. The managers don't sit watching them work on their computers do they?

                Mangers monitor exactly how much their employees get done in a day.

                  Most stuff is digital nowadays. Work progress is easy to track. Brick and mortar offices aren’t the necessity they once were. If and I say if, the employee is diligent to be responsible and accountable I do not see anything wrong with working at home. Cost savings on both ends for sure. You know there are dog humpers you have to lord over with the proverbial whip to keep motivated but face it I don’t think those types gravitate too far. I hope at least.

                    They have a job for life already anyway.
                    Sell all the buildings.
                    Less union influence.
                    No need for safety waste.
                    It doesn't work best for all scenarios but it might fit here.
