I disagree employers don't have a win on the remote work setup. For one, they can reduce a lot of overhead for the upkeep of physical offices. There's also giving the idea of giving the employee more time for themselves, when in truth they really actually extended his work hours; just at the comfort of their homes and at their own pace. While it's not perfect for everyone, remote work has its perks for both employees AND employers.
More time often isn't really what the employer wants. I knew someone who put in a lot of hours, but always in the afternoon / evening -- when everyone else already went home. Which sucks for everyone who needs to coordinate with them, because you always need to wait a day for them to get back to your emails...
