The problem with working remote has always been one of management.
Basically, managers, still after all these years, do not know how to manage
and evaluate actual employee performance, and that applies to workers
sitting right next to the manager as well as remote workers. And in this
technical age, how many managers even know what their workers DO? One of
my rules is: If you cannot DO your subordinates job, you cannot manage
them.
The cost savings to the company as well as to traffic reduction,
commuting time elimination, pollution, improvement in quality of life etc
has been proven repeatedly.
