There are lots of compelling reasons to work remotely — but some business leaders and employment experts argue that it’s better to work onsite.
Virtual teams — geographically scattered colleagues who use high-tech 
communication — are now common in many organizations. Some of those team members are remote workers and some still work onsite, in the traditional office.

Remote work can be hard, both for workers and their managers.
