Some say that it would be better if the majority of employees worked from home instead of travelling to a workplace every day. Do you think the advantages of working from home outweigh the disadvantages?

During the COVID-19 pandemic, everyone was introduced to online work. Now many people find that working from home is a greater option than commuting to the office all the

time

.

This

essay will discuss the pros and cons of

this

opinion in detail and provide the reasons why I think the former does not outweigh the latter.

To begin

with, one primary advantage of doing remote jobs is that it saves transportation fees.

For example

, an average monthly travel card costs about $120 and the annual cards are costlier.

This

means that going to work with public transport requires the worker to spend at least $1200 per year.

In addition

to saving expenses, another advantage of virtual work is that it saves

time

. No calculations are required to explain

this

; provided that, the employees simply wake up from their bed and walk across to their table

to begin

their task.

However

Add a comma

However,

show examples

there are some major drawbacks too.

First,

the lack of social interactions in independent working environments leads to a decrease in their communication skills.

For instance

, studies have found that freelancers score poorly on their speaking and presentation skills

while

employees from other sectors score high.

Second,

they struggle more with their mental health than others.

This

is again

due to

the fact that they are mostly spending a lot of

time

staring at a screen and not receiving any physical validation.

Also

, a third drawback is that they are often stuck to figure out solutions for themselves as their superiors are not always present to offer them instant help.

To conclude

, there are numerous merits and demerits of remote jobs

as a result

of the aforementioned discussion.

Although

working from home can save

time

and money, it brings more negatives

such

as a decrease in mental health, communication and others. If

this

becomes the new reality,

then

the world is in trouble.
