Considering all the middle managers I know of are desperately trying to get the workforce back into offices because they seemingly have bugger-all to do now, I'd say you can cut out a fair few of them if you need to balance out a new cost.

Without being overworked, can a remote manager manage more people than an on-site manager? I don't know any remote managers

Are you sure you've diagnosed this correctly? The managers I know are ready to get back to the office for the exact opposite reason - managing remotely is much harder and more time-consuming.


I'm talking about the types that value ass in seat over output. Of course good managers are still needed :)
