Nowadays, the strides made in technology have enabled people work remotely. There are several reasons that might explain this trend, and I personally regard it is as a change for the worse.
The first reason why people who work from home lives less stressful lives. They have an easier time eating healthy food, leading to strike a good health-good income balance. Those who work in a traditional office might skip his meal amidst his huge burden of work. According to the study in 2011, it is evident that people who work from home experience 25% less stress, helping you in constructing a comfortable work environment for yourself. The second reason is that many people want to earn more and more money but at the cost of regular endless traffic jams. Remote working offers in avoiding long congestions and loud honking. In case you use public transport to commute to your office which makes it more tiring. The long queues for metro tokens, the huge crowd inside buses reduces the work efficiency. Various research studies have shown that long gridlocks have miserable impacts on the work and further in the economic growth of a nation.
In my opinion, in recent years, an increasing number of people prefer to work remotely rather than commute their offices 6 days a week. Spending long hours and collaborating with only a computer screen and no face-to-face interaction and communication with team members can be challenging. There are various platforms like Zoom and Skype, where employees can connect through video calls and conferences. Besides, It is entirely possible that such online connectivity can sometimes go completely wrong. And it might not be as efficient as sitting together and brainstorming ideas to work effectively.
In conclusion, comfortable working environment and endless traffic jam are the main reasons why many people work-from-home. Despite these reasons, I think people should more focus on their work productivity and communication with their team members.
