The benefits of remote work go disproportionately to workers, while the detriments seem to fall toward managers. Since it's managers deciding whether to hire remote or on-site, it's not that surprising that they act in their own interest and hire on-site, even if it's more expensive.

My manager has repeatedly encouraged us to work from home, because we're space constrained (loud), but I have absolutely no desire to do so... why would I want to bring work in to my own home? If the business is fine with my productivity hit, so am I.

Would you be willing to "split the difference" on your commute if they allowed working at home? Instead of driving 2 hours a day, you'd work an extra hour every day?

Maybe if it was structured like this then it would be more win/win.
