Would You Prefer to Work Remotely?

@RebeccasFarm I'm no longer a job holder.I resigned from my job months back.During covid lockdown we had to work from home.I was very comfortable with it.

I probably work best on my own. It's hard to make a living from craft unless you're really, really good at it.

I am retired now, but I would have loved to have been able to work from home! It would have been very easy and logical for me to do it too, since I was a webmaster for the School's website.

I have been working remotely for the last few months. I am enjoying working from home. Once every two months, I visit the office where I work. The benefit is I can work for multiple people, so if one work stops, the other is there as a standby. Simultaneously, I am also making jewelry and selling it online.

I never thought I would enjoy working remotely but I do. There are less distractions and less workplace politics.

My sister only has to go to her office two days a week and she can choose what days she goes to the office. then she has an office in her home where she works the other three days. I think she likes working at home.

I currently work remotely, although I have to go into an office occasionally. I have worked from home when I have been self-employed. That's one of the things I find strange about people who think remote work is a new and bad concept. It's something many people have been doing for a long time, and working in offices is a relatively modern concept. I used to work full-time in an office when I first got an 9-5 office job. We began working from home because of covid. While I have since changed employer, I still do a similar job and the remote working is still happening. The job is the same whether I do it from home or an office or anywhere else. While I don't mind interacting with co-workers, I prefer to focus on my work and get on with it. We are being encouraged to come to the office. Some reasons given include things like better work-life balance and something about social interaction. I know some people are at home alone and maybe miss the social interaction. I, on the other hand, live with three other adults! I would also think there was something amiss if a person's only social interaction was in the workplace. As for a better work-life balance, I don't understand how that works. It's not so bad for me as it's a 10 to 15 minute walk to the office. That walk is good for me. However, that was different in my previous job where I would spend an additional 3 hours mostly stuck in traffic. I'm sure there are people who could be spending that time taking children to school or doing something productive. Apart from my full-time job, I also do crafts and things. This is another oddity I find - nobody seems to have any problem with doing crafts, etc. from home but I think some people forget that remote working/working from home can mean many things. I know some people have said that those working from home doing 'office' jobs should get back to work. As if they don't understand the "working" part of "working from home". They think phones aren't being answered because of people working from home when the truth is that phones weren't being answered anyway because there weren't enough people to answer them! Sorry, I have ranted a little there Basically, it's OK to interact with co-workers but I prefer to get on with things. I generally prefer to work remotely as it's quieter, and I can get other things done during my breaks. If I'm in the office, my break is spent in the office thinking about what I could be doing at home!

Both has its own diadvantages and advantages. Sometimes I think working from home will cause me not to focus on work since there are so many things to do at home. And sometimes the office equipment can be better than home. So I still prefer to work in the office. Of course if I can work four days in the office and then have three days off work and it will be perfect

Oh that's a hard one for me. I'd like the perks of remote working, but at the same time I do like being around people . . . well, some people that is .

My daughter has a job and works remotely. She loves it most of the time but occasionally she'll say she misses being in an office and having other people to talk to. She definitely doesn't miss having to commute or get dressed up.

I loved working virtually during COVID. It is part of the reason why I pick up all of the virtual tutoring I can.

On my last job, it would have been easy to work remotely. Could have had an extra hour or tow in bed!

I have worked remotely for quite sometime, teaching online and content writing. I prefer to work online and we can interact with our coworkers while working remotely too.

Before my retirement, I had to work in office 5 days a week.

I am not what you call a people person, but I used to think the only to motivate myself to work, was to go out to work. However, I later realized remote work such as the jobs I do online, is right for me. I can take my laptop anywhere. and I can do what I need to do. I can also take a break whenever I want. It's amazing.

I would definitely prefer to work remotely.
