Not every company has this fear. In fact, some large companies are the most progressive with the ability to work remotely and have a huge investment in infrastructure to support this. On the negative side, the employees become more replaceable in the minds of many execs. This includes project and middle managers, so it's not just on the leaf developers.
- doktrin 15y agoAgreed : out of sight = out of mind. It's a -lot- easier to think of remote workers as a pure commodity.
- grogs 15y agoIndeed. Some people believe that there's no real productivity gain from all team members being located in the same place. However, one of the (potential) benefits of being located in the same place (as management) is job security. People grow attachments to others. Plausible if you accept that problems can be broken into separate pieces. Furthermore, measuring/comparing the productivity is non-trivial/impossible.
