Its not about money. It’s about power and control. Corpos only care about one thing, and thats power. What good is money if you can’t use it to lord over someone?
It’s several things.
Probably more than that.
Some of it’s true.
They don’t understand what it costs. They don’t understand that people resent having to commute to do the same work they could have done at home.
I used to have a manager that would micromanage everyone and come and stand behind you and make comments usually asking why you weren’t working on X. X was always something other than what you were doing, he was never happy.
Now he can’t do that anymore. Unsurprisingly productivity increases when an overbearing idiot can’t stand behind you.
Yeah that’s a good answer. A part of the problem is management not understanding that not everyone payroll is an extroverted, type A person. Most folks will actually be more productive if they can fuck off to walk the dog or fold some laundry in the middle of a work day.
