"No one wants to work" has always had an unspoken "for the paltry wages I am offering" component to it.

Do you know why they don't like remote work? Eventually, you can remotely work for another country that pays more.

They don't like remote work because it means they're wasting money on office space. Rather than fix that problem they want to fill the unnecessary space and pretend there's no problem.

It also means they're wasting money on middle management more often than not. Which scares middle management.

Yep, my prev. CEO capped working from home to 1 day a week and treated it like we were requesting a holiday.

“I have such a nice office and then nobody shows up, you know how much that hurts?”

Man, how far removed from reality can you be?

Or even just remotely work for other employers in the same country. For example, Dallas employers don't want compete with Silicon Valley employer salaries.

You know what I have always hated never actually understood? Its always people make different amounts of money in different parts of the country because it costs more to live there or something to that effect.

Ever since I was small this has pissed me off more than it should... Like we really don't have a better solution? As I got older I understood it more... But it just pisses me off. People shouldn't make less in one part of the country just because everyone wants to live in a different part of it...

Like it should be the opposite... Pay people the same everywhere give people the freedom to move and it will sort itself out..

Not even necessarily wages. Sometimes it's, "nobody wants to work with me as their boss."
