Oh, I am very, very, well aware of that. I have had to deal with that in multiple companies but there is always a way. It can be complicated to start but remote support tools bridge the gap. I have one that I self-host that I use to help Friends/Family now. Its not as polished as a tool from some company but I know that (our) systems are not connected to someone-elses-computer that can in some situations grant full control of the system. It is also only online when needed. It would be a perfectly fine tool to admin remote employee systems unless they truly screw it up in a stupid way but even then most if not nearly all of the data should be remote. I look at remote employee stations as disposable and all of the real data/work/etc is on a remote system (with a proper backup system in place). Sure, you might lose a employee for a few days if things go sideways but its better to have a system that does not rely on "it works on my computer" (I am looking at you, programmers... (Rage emoji) seriously...)
