With remote work becoming more mainstream, I still wonder why so many companies close their doors to distributed teams.<p>Of course, not every remote worker is created equally, but I do ponder the disconnect between companies looking for people that "think outside the box", yet won't hire people who are literally living "outside of the box"; ie: pioneering a new way of living/working.<p>I'd be interested to hear from people on both sides of the argument: do you hire remote workers? If yes/no, why?
