Work
from
home
has become a new trend in
this
pandemic crisis to abide by the protocol of social distancing. An increasing number of people have a preference to
work
from
home
due to the risk of getting infected with the virus on the job. There are conflicting views regarding whether working at
home
have more merits or demerits. Some folks proclaim that
this
incline in trend is beneficial to employees while on contrary side other argue that it causes unnecessary tension at
home
. In the following essay, we will elaborate both points of view and will explain my support to the latter standpoint.
Commencing with the pros, the individuals who perform from
home
saves a lot of
time
of transition, and they do not require to waste their crucial
time
in traffic congestion
this
additional
time
which they get can be utilized in several more productive activities or for family. Many times, the employee need to migrate to other cities leaving their family behind.
However
, if the
work
from
home
is advocated, the
work
can be completed from any part of the world,
thus
they do not need to split up from their family for their livelihood.
For instance
, the
person
sitting 100 km away from the workplace can accommodate the
work
from the
lots of money and
time
in travelling.
Besides
this
, most of the people find their
home
to be the most relaxing place which can offer them the environment conducive for
work
which let them be highly productive in their comfort zone.
On the converse side, it is undeniable that the
work
from
home
can ignite the stress level
that is
carried forward to
home
.
For instance
, while working at
home
, there are no specific
work
hours all they need to do to complete the specific task in whatever
time
it takes which can lead to people working longer than the normal routine that can cause a domestic dispute and tension among family members.
Furthermore
, there are high chances that they might not be able to concentrate on their
work
because of the noise created by kids. Many times, it slips out of the family member's mind that the other
person
at
home
is working and accidentally the noises created in the surrounding can affect the concentration and may affect the
work
efficiency. What is more, is that many times they can fail to grab the opportunity which may arise in the workplace. To exemplify, there comes a
time
when the urgent meeting is conducted, and presentation is to be made if at
this
time
being at
home
will not let
person
seize the chance and might lose the opportunity to get a promotion or bonus.
In conclusion, it clearly shows that the disadvantages out shadow the advantages. Even though staying at
home
and working will not let the
person
be more available for family,
that is
why it is better that the
work
is done from the office, so the
work
stress is not carried forward at
home
.
