• If I can't see them they aren't working
  
• They won't be available when I need them (for special projects).
  
• They'll put an added burden on other people on the team.
  
• They won't be a member of the team.
  
• They'll miss out on hallway conversations and never know what's going on.
  
• I can't manage people I can't see.
  
• It's just too hard, not worth the bother.
  
• All work must be done locally to succeed.
