Side-Effects of Work from Home

Side Effects of Work From Home
Remember the times we used to think that work from home is a cakewalk. People can complete tasks as per their comfort while saving their commute time. Owing to the deadly Coronavirus, employees across the world have been assigned mandatory remote work. That comes with its own set of challenges. Whether people like it or not, work from home is the only option they are left with during the period of self-isolation. We have decided to share some side-effects of self-isolation that we are sure everybody working from home would relate to.

No personal space

Your entire home turns into your workplace. One moment, you are attending a Skype call from your work desk. While another moment, you are writing an article sitting in your balcony.

You’re fooling around

No one actually believes that you are “working-working.” Your folk thinks that you’re probably watching videos or chatting on your laptop.

Mom- Attacks 24x7

Apart from the office work, you stay busy finishing the chores assigned by mom. Just like your boss, she has a chores list planned for your entire day.

Your work-from-home ethics are highly suspected

Your family members suspect that you’re probably killing time and hardly doing anything productive.

Work-from-home marries house chores

Even video editors are not exempted. They are also honoured with house chores while their videos are being rendered.

Multi-tasking is expected

You may not ace the ‘work from home’ thing. But you’ll probably become a pro at cutting vegetables by the time self-isolation period ends.

No Girlfriend, No Life

No stepping out means no meeting with the girlfriend which means no LOVE LIFE.

BOREDOM

Stuck at home, you don’t get to work with your favourite colleague who keeps you entertained with his poor jokes.

Father of 'Side-Effects’- LIVING Big Boss Every Minute

Suddenly you realize that EAT. SLEEP.WORK. REPEAT is not fancy at all. You start to meet like one of the BIG BOSS housemates.
