The technological progress and advancements in communication have enabled people to be free in terms of locations for both living and working. More and more company employees and freelancers work remotely - at the home table, without changing their pajamas for a business suit.I strongly agree that its negatives of
this
development outweigh the positives.
The two main advantages of remote working that person can not only decide independently when to work and when to relax, but
also
don't spend time on the way to the office.
Firstly
, not everyone wants to get up either the light or the dawn, so that after half an hour they can pace back and forth at the nearest stop, waiting for the "cherished" bus. Or stand in traffic jams precious watches, simultaneously falling asleep while driving. It is much easier to get from the bedroom to the bath, and
then
to your workplace, when all
this
fits into the framework of one apartment.
Moreover
, 'flexible working' is more than just working from home. It's about working from wherever you need to be, whether that's from a café with a client, a customer's HQ or during your commute. By making best use of technology
such
as audio and video-conferencing, instant messenger and mobile internet
this
can be achieved while strengthening collaboration and enhancing a sense of community between colleagues – even if employees aren't physically in the same place.
Despite these positive factors,
however
, there are a number of disadvantages. The
first
of these is the fact that working alone may mean greater flexibility and fewer interruptions, but it is in those small interactions with colleagues – where people become multifaceted, as opposed to the flattened, disembodied personas of online avatars – that connections are made. Home workers have less communication with office staff, limited face-to-face interactions and, over time,c
n find it harder to integrate with staff at the office. Reduced engagement, limited communication and a lack of opportunities for knowledge sharing stunts their professional progression.Beyond the lack of interaction with colleagues – there are no overhearing others talking – there is
also
the lack of interaction with the wider world.
In addition
to convenience and freedom, it
also
brings a number of difficulties, which can be combined with one phrase - “the ability to take responsibility”. Still,
this
proximity to the refrigerator, sofa, TV and constant Internet access relax. Every now and
then
a person may want to get up and chew something tasty, get distracted by correspondence with a friend on social networks, etc.
Thus
, if one does not have the willpower, an individual can lose the effectiveness and productivity of his work.
In conclusion, equipped with the modern technology of the 21st century, employers are now increasingly adopting a new form of employment know as ''remote working". While
this
phenomenon leads to a serious discussion of whether there are more merits than drawbacks, I came to an understanding that despite the convenience of home working, it can allow a number of disastrous consequences of a person's career.
