Not sure about that. Remote would save so much more on office space! Yet most companies hate remote and don't allow it.

I think the real reason is managers want to be able to see everyone at a glance; it's all about control.

Not likely, unless these managers have really keen eyes and are able to look at everyone's monitor at the same time....
