Sr manager here. The reason managers don't want employees working remote is because it *requires* the manager to come up with and assign clearly defined deliverables to each individual, with expected quality levels (which can be quite tricky to define), and timeline. 99% if my manager colleagues, including my director, are completely incompetent and/or too lazy to put in that level of effort. On top of that, it also quite quickly exposes the star performers from the weaklings. And if done right and with transparency, where everyone sees what everyone else is working on and their progress towards, then you can't then just add more assignments to the star performers. You have to reward them in other ways, while at the same time the weaklings require constant coaching and then termination which, again, no one wants to deal with.
