> Managers don't care how productive their teams are. They care about keeping their jobs. They care about hiring more people and building an empire and climbing the career ladder.

All true

> If your team is more productive working in Hawaii, but you'll lose your job, you're not going to recommend they work from Hawaii.

Huh? I don't see why a team being in Hawaii would lead the manager to lose their job. You still need management in a fully remote setting.

It's just a hypothetical.

In my circle, it seems popular thinking that remote work could lead to less managers.

Time will maybe tell if that's true or false.

But.... why? A manager's work still stays the same whether their teams are in office or online. Really curious to understand why one would think otherwise.
