It seems like a world of comfort, ease and, well, if not zero, than very little tension. That is the dream, right? But is it really that hassle-free and comfortable? Not really. Like, everything in the world, working from home has it’s own advantages and disadvantages.
PROS
- Like mentioned above, you can snuggle comfortably in your bed, wearing your pyjamas, with any food, drinks, cigarettes or whatever you want and do your job. There exists no necessity of putting on formals, to look presentable, go through official conducts or anything. You can feel free to look your worst while doing your work.
- While working, nobody stands above your head, checking on you, dictating you or bothering you. Your boss doesn’t keep an eye on you every instant, which, let’s be honest, can becoming very unnerving. You are given a deadline, till which you have to complete your work and that’s all.
