Governments should offer tax breaks for every employee that works remotely, part or full time. The more remote work, the bigger the tax breaks. In addition, for employees that could work remotely but don't, there should be additional taxes. With a structure like this, every company that can have remote workers will. When the idiot managers' ideas of having everyone onsite for their own perverse pleasure of feeling in control and no other reason (as there is no other reason for workers who can work remotely to be in the office) is overridden by financial (and indirectly environmental) concerns, the companies may finally find that many of these middle managers are disposable baggage that were just eating up resources for no reason. Even if they don't, at least perverse power of control will be removed from these people that generally just abuse it for their own perversions to the extreme detriment of the company.
