Because there's massive piles of money invested in commercial buildings and offices that are just sitting there, wanting to be filled with miserable people under fluorescent lights.
They don't even own the building I work in, they're paying some landleech so they can force me to work from the office for no good reason. It would save them money to let me keep working from home.
They play golf with the landlord.
middle management needs something to do
It really is just securing the social reproduction of the PMC class, isn't it? How will all their failchildren continue the family trade if all the workers prove they don't need overseers?
I think it's at least part of the motivation, but I think even the c-suite dickheads want to see an office full of people they "control" present every day. There's some kind of self-worth invested in having peons to justify living high on the hog.
Now that I think about it, some enterprising person could probably sell a software suite that just stacks outputs of every remote employee into a screen so the managers can see mouses moving, people on their webcams, etc, but all of it on one screen so they can feel powerful
Probably already exists
Your employers have more in common with their landlord than they have with you, and they know it.
Yeah but then you might be less miserable and have more control over your life
