Recruiters getting mad when you ask about remote work

I’ve had this happen a couple of times. On LinkedIn I sometimes apply to jobs listed as hybrid who don’t post their schedules because sometimes they offer fully remote work which is annoying because if they marked it as remote it’d be easier to find. I have had some recruiters get mad at me for asking about remote possibilities. They never post the schedule on their postings so I always have to ask “Is remote with in office as needed possible”?

A “Sorry, this is the schedule. Let us know if you are still interested” would be fine and I have no idea why they all get so personally offended.

Some people take their jobs and companies WAY too seriously and this backwards stuck in their ways thinking scares me about the future possibilities of remote work staying.
