If someone is so socially awkward that they can’t come into the office a few times a week, then I probably don’t want them long term.

In some cases, it’s not a matter of social awkwardness. In some cases, especially for single parents, it’s about being able to have a job and still being able to parent. Not everyone has family to help with their children and a nine to five job does not always correspond to a child’s schedule. I personally know three women who wouldn’t be able to work at their jobs if they had to be in the office every day. A nine to five job at best with travel quickly turns into an eight to six job. Most school schedules run 8-3:30. And then there are sick day, snow days, holidays, spring and fall breaks and summer. This isn’t the 50’s anymore where mom stayed home with the kids and dad went to work.

Nothing to do with being socially awkward. Has everything to do with efficiency. For a lot of tech jobs a commute to an office to sit at a desk is such a waste of time and money.
