Here&#x27;s why: cost!<p>To be clear, I find it refreshing that they just come out and say it. It seems obvious to me that when you work remotely, you&#x27;re paying for the office space, and any company that believes the savings in pushing the office-space expense onto the employee outweighs the benefit of holding offices will start moving in this direction. (Since this particular company  pays for coworking space, they&#x27;re not pushing the cost to employees. I&#x27;m speaking more generally)<p>Having worked remotely for a substantial portion of my career, I have found the best for me is a mix of working at home and working from the office. That&#x27;s my personal feeling, but still I think there are more downsides to remote work than many would like to consider.
