It occurs to me that, in at least some cases, employers don't want to have remote workers (fear of loss of control), but will accept it if they cannot fill the position otherwise (e.g. there are no available programmers in our town).

So, it will be interesting to see what happens when the next labor market downturn comes.

Remote work is all about trust. Find good talent that you don't have to micro manage and you'll see that the output is 2x what the input used to be. It's amazing how much you can get done when you're left alone and not interrupted by meetings and a distracting workplace
