Why Do We Still Commute?

I don't understand why you are being downvoted. I just started working as a software developer 10 months ago and my supervisor had told me the work culture has changed so much since upper management has transitioned to MBAs and previous military over promoting workers from within who have worked on projects.

I doubt that the government will allow any remote work any time soon because most of the people here have never heard of a VPN or even know what a secure password is.

I doubt it's just "Stupid MBA's and military 'intelligence'"...

We live in a post Snowden world. It only takes one mistake to have all your data out in the wild.

I think attributing changes away from trusting employees to simply "bad management" and ignoring issues like employee malfeasance... is overly simplistic and dilutes complicated issue conversations.

There needs to be a balance between trust and security. It's easy to take it too far in either direction.

Different kinds of trust. Trust that you will get the work done properly vs trust that you will not steal or expose critical business data.
