EDIT: It was this+OpenSCAD in general that enraged them!
Doing their jobs well for their own boss means getting as much cash from you as possible.
90% of my job developing software is figuring out what the boss wants since he only has an outcome in mind, and doesn't really know what he wants. He couldn't go with an external service.
This stuff you cant do with remote workers. When the boss needs help on testing the app, he talks to me instead of the guy who made it since I am just one desk over and its easier to work together than schedule a meeting and all that. He just let the remote guy go and gave me the project.
I doubt that remote work will really take off. I barely even know the remote workers since all our interactions are 100% focused on the job. I cant build trust with them because I just don't know them. They are just a talking head in a window on my computer.
This was my story as well, I wonder how many people have been through this just like us!?
